Calviri for dogs

Loved ones with four legs also get cancer.
Applying our life saving science to pet cancer
Calviri is conducting the world’s largest study, Vaccine Against Canine Cancer Study (VACCS) among 800 dogs. The objective is to test the efficacy over 5 years of a preventative vaccine against all major cancers – double blind, equal arms. The study is funded by a $6.4m grant from the Open Philanthropy Project and Calviri, Inc. The Data Safety Monitoring Board concluded that there was no safety or autoimmune response. The next milestone in Q2 2022 is the year 3 study report on efficacy.

Clinical trial
Almost half of all households in the US have a dog, and for those of us that share our lives with them they become a loved addition to our families.
Like humans, dogs suffer from cancer. They make up 95% of the pet cancer therapeutic market. As awareness to the availability of cancer treatment for dogs increases, so does the cost burden.
Treatment options for dogs are much the same as humans, with chemotherapy being commonly prescribed.
Our science could make a huge contribution to revolutionizing the out dated cancer treatment industry by offering rapid diagnostics and therapeutic vaccines. Moreover, we have a late stage preventative vaccine in our pipeline that is showing great promise – it could prevent dogs from ever getting the disease.
