Study title

Early Detection, Risk Stratification, and Strategic Prevention of Canine Lymphoma - Part III - Healthy Community Dog Enrollment (Validation Set)

Purpose of study

This project aims to create a reliable blood test kit that can identify dogs at high risk of developing DLBCL. This test could later be paired with treatments to stop DLBCL from developing before it starts.

Eligibility criteria

Dogs must:

  • Be at least 5 years old
  • Be healthy - attested by a veterinary health professional with a physical exam and history concluding good health
  • Live in the contiguous 48 states of the U.S.
  • Be of any breed, sex, or neuter status

 

Owners agree to:

  • Complete follow-up health surveys for the life of their dog once enrolled
  • Submit additional blood samples for re-testing, if requested, according to the study guidelines

Procedures

Upon enrollment, your veterinary clinic will receive a kit with blood collection tubes to collect a total of up to 15mls of blood (about 3 tsp). A follow-up sample may be requested at a later date if needed.

Costs

The study covers the costs of the kit and the return shipping to the Modiano Lab for testing. Owners are responsible for all costs associated with the office visits and procedures.
