Innovative Clinical Trials for
Canine and Feline Health

TACC invites our referring partners to refer eligible patients for two exciting clinical trials that aim to advance the health and well-being of companion animals.

The TRIAD Study:
Promoting Healthy Aging in Dogs

The TRIAD study is designed to test whether rapamycin can improve healthy aging in companion dogs. We are seeking older dogs, aged 7 years or older and weighing between 44 - 120 pounds, to participate in this clinical trial. The Test of Rapamycin In Aging Dogs (TRIAD) is a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin, which at low doses has been shown to increase lifespan and delay or reverse many age-related disorders in mice. This is the third and largest trial of rapamycin that our group has conducted to date. What is its purpose? The goal of TRIAD is to assess the effects of the medication Rapamycin on health and aging in dogs. This study is designed to test if Rapamycin treatment leads to any of the following benefits: Better Heart Health, Improved Mobility, Prolonged Cognitive Function, Increased Lifespan

The HALT HCM Study:
Addressing Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in Cats

The HALT study is a multi-site, blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical field study to provide substantial evidence of effectiveness of a disease modifying drug intervention in the management of ventricular hypertrophy in cats with subclinical HCM. The study will be conducted at multiple clinical sites that are experienced in treating cats with HCM. The study will consist of up to a 14-dayscreening period, followed by a 12-month once-weekly dosing period, with five post-enrollment study visits.
