    Abstract The identification of biomarkers that distinguish diseased from normal individuals is of intense interest in many health-related fields. Potential applications for biomarkers in veterinary oncology include diagnosis, staging, prognosis and monitoring responses to therapy. By definition, effective biomarkers for cancer screening facilitate disease identification in sub-clinically affected patients and lead to subsequent improvements in clinical outcome. Although the methods and techniques of biomarker discovery and clinical application are translatable from humans to animals, veterinary medicine has lagged behind its human counterpart in several areas. Veterinarians have previously had a flawed understanding of how to use biomarker assays appropriately and have not had the positive influence on product research and development that could advance this field. The controversies, potentials biases, and considerations relative to the clinical application of biomarker assays for cancer screening are discussed in this review.

    Abstract ¹⁵³Sm‐DOTMP (CycloSam®) is a newly‐patented radiopharmaceutical for bone tumor treatment. DOTMP (1,4,7,10‐tetraazacyclododecane‐1,4,7,10‐tetramethylene‐phosphonate) is a macrocyclic chelating agent with superior binding properties to ¹⁵³Sm when compared with EDTMP (Quadramet™, used for palliative treatment of bone cancer). CycloSam® was administered at 1 mCi/kg (37 MBq/kg) in a prospective pilot study to seven dogs with bone cancer resulting in no myelosuppression. Then, 13 dogs were enrolled in a prospective clinical trial study using traditional 3+3 dose escalation and starting at 1.5 mCi/kg. Baseline evaluation included hematologic and biochemical testing, diagnosis confirmation, thoracic and limb radiographs, technetium‐99 m‐HDP bone scintigraphy, and ¹⁸F‐FDG PET scan (SUVmax). Toxicity (primary endpoint) was assessed through weekly blood counts and adverse events. Dogs received 1.5 mCi/kg (n = 4), 1.75 mCi/kg (n = 6), and 2 mCi/kg (n = 3) of ¹⁵³Sm‐DOTMP. Dose‐limiting neutropenia and thrombocytopenia were seen at 2 mCi/kg. No dose‐limiting nonhematologic toxicities occurred. Efficacy (secondary endpoint) was assessed by objective lameness measurement (body‐mounted inertial sensors), owner quality‐of‐life (QoL) questionnaire, and repeat PET scan. Objective lameness measurement improved in four dogs (53%–60% decrease) was equivocal in three dogs, and worsened in four dogs (66%–115% increase); two dogs were not evaluable. Repeat ¹⁸F‐FDG PET scan results varied and change in lameness did not consistently correlate with SUVmax changes. QoL score worsened (n = 5) or was improved/stable (n = 7). Carboplatin chemotherapy (300 mg/m2 IV every 3 weeks ×4) started 4 weeks after ¹⁵³Sm‐DOTMP injection. No dog died of chemotherapy‐related complications. All dogs completed study monitoring. The recommended dose for CycloSam® in dogs is 1.75 mCi/kg, which resulted in some pain control with minimal toxicity and was safely combined with chemotherapy.

    Abstract Practice-changing medical discovery requires preclinical and clinical assessment be carried out using appropriate disease models. There is growing awareness of companion animals with naturally-occurring disease as such models. They offer significant advantages over more traditional in vivo models of induced disease. This review describes current efforts to promote translation of discoveries between human and veterinary medicine in order to more rapidly and efficiently make progress in improving the health of all human and animal patients.

    Abstract Canine TCC of the bladder is a disease for which early detection and multimodality therapy are likely to produce the most favorable results. Urine screening tests are being investigated as tools to permit earlier detection. The possibility of tumor seeding must be considered when obtaining urine for analysis and when performing surgery. Because these tumors tend to be very locally invasive at the time of diagnosis and are likely to metastasize, cures are unlikely. Currently, combination protocols using chemotherapy and the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent piroxicam show the most promise in producing tumor responses. Surgery and radiation therapy are useful treatment modalities in select cases. Despite advances in treatment of canine TCC, median survival times reported for prospective clinical trials have never exceeded 1 year, regardless of the treatment modality. Development of accurate tests for early tumor detection could have a significant impact on the success of treatment of this tumor in canine patients.

    Abstract BACKGROUND: Osteosarcoma (OSA) in dogs is an aggressive bone tumor with frequent chemotherapy failure and translational relevance for human health. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES: We hypothesized that dogs with OSA could be treated safely by ex vivo activated T‐cells that were generated by autologous cancer vaccination and supported by interleukin‐2 (IL‐2) treatment with survival more than twice that reported for amputation alone. ANIMALS: Osteosarcoma‐bearing dogs (n = 14) were enrolled in a single‐arm prospective trial after complete staging before amputation. Four healthy dogs also were treated in a safety study. METHODS: Autologous cancer cell vaccinations were administered intradermally and dogs underwent leukapheresis. Mononuclear cell products were stimulated ex vivo with a T‐cell‐activating agent. Activated product was transfused and 5 SC IL‐2 injections were administered q48h. Dogs were monitored for metastasis by thoracic radiography every 3 months. RESULTS: Autologous cancer cell vaccine and activated cellular therapy (ACT) products were successfully generated. Toxicity was minimal after premedicants were instituted before ACT. With premedication, all toxicities were grade I/II. Median disease‐free interval for all dogs was 213 days. One dog developed cutaneous metastasis but then experienced spontaneous complete remission. Median survival time for all dogs was 415 days. Five dogs survived >730 days. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: This immunotherapy protocol without cytotoxic chemotherapy is safe and tolerable. Compared to historical amputation reports, survival was notably prolonged in this group of patients. Additional prospective studies are warranted to elucidate active immunologic mechanisms and further improve disease response and survival.
