This initiative aims to address the ongoing challenges in cancer prevention, treatment, and drug development by fostering collaborations in comparative oncology research between humans and canines. The focus is on advancing our understanding of cancer biology, identifying new therapies, and improving clinical trial design.

The Cancer Challenge We have not solved the Cancer problem yet! • Prevention strategies are limited • Many cancer types remain refractory to therapy • While cancer outcomes are improving (for many, but not all cancers), short-term and long-term toxicities from current cancer therapies (surgery, radiation, chemo) are quite significant, including cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, and organ dysfunction (kidney, liver, heart, etc).
Cancer is a Challenge • Cancer is common in humans and canines • ~1 of every 3 women, ~1 of every 2 men will develop cancer • ~1.7 million Americans will be diagnosed with cancer this year • >600 thousand Americans will die from cancer this year • {9/11 two hundred times each year!} • >4 million canines will develop cancer in U.S.; >1 million will receive treatment for their cancer. • ~50% of canines >10yo will die from cancer
Cancer Remains a Challenge • There remains a great need for new cancer therapies – better efficacy, less toxicity • The process of developing new cancer therapies is both slow and costly: • Average of 13-16 years to bring a new therapeutic from target validation to marketplace • <<10% of new drugs developed make it to the marketplace • ~$1.8 billion to bring a new drug to market
The Cancer Opportunity • Consortium for • Canine Comparative Oncology • A partnership: • Collaborate in pre-clinical and clinical research activities • Advance understanding of cancer causation • Identify cancer susceptibility genes • Identify environmental factors involved in cancer • Test novel agents • Pre-clinical testing • Coordinate clinical trials in canines and humans • Joint partnerships with Pharma/Biotech • PK/PD, biomarkers, dosing/scheduling, combinations
The Cancer Opportunity • Who will benefit? • Human patients • Canine patients • Canine owners • New insights into cancer biology • Faster, less costly drug approvals? • Better informed clinical trials design
The Cancer Opportunity This would be an iterative process Canine Clinical Trials Human Clinical Trials Cancer Drug Approval
