    Nanoscience Poster SessionAs part of our efforts toward clinical translation of GA-198AuNP, our studies are focused on therapeutic efficacy of nanoparticulate GA198AuNP agent in dogs with prostatic carcinoma. The overall goal is to gain clinical insights on therapeutic efficacy of GA198AuNP in a large animal model. We have performed a phase I clinical trial using GA-AuNP administered intravenously or intratumorally by injection or infusion. CT scans were performed prior to injection and 24 hours post injection in 3 of the 4 dogs. Following injections, dogs were allowed further treatment as recommended by the primary attending clinician. Four dogs have been treated to date. Complications related to GA-AuNP treatment were not observed, and all 4 dogs received adjunctive treatment with radiation therapy and/ or chemotherapy. These preliminary studies have clearly provided compelling evidence on the therapeutic potential of biocompatible GA-AuNP for their utility as novel therapeutic agents in treating various types of inoperable solid tumors. Intra-tumoral and intravenous administration of GA-AuNP is safe in dogs with spontaneously occurring tumors. As further therapeutic efficacy studies continue, the outcome of this clinical trial in a large animal model will generate therapeutic efficacy data which will be used for filing IND application for Phase I clinical trial studies. This clinical translation effort provides significant advances in terms of delivering optimum therapeutic payloads into prostate cancers with subsequent reduction in tumor volume, thus may effectively reduce/eliminate the need for surgical resection. This presentation will include details of clinical translation of GA198AuNP in prostate tumor bearing dogs

    Safety and Clinical Response Following a Repeat Intraarticular Injection of Tin-117m (Sn) Colloid in Dogs with Elbow Osteoarthritis

    OBJECTIVE: To determine if a repeat intraarticular (IA) injection of a tin-117m colloid radiosynoviorthesis (RSO) agent can be safely given in the same joint 12 months after an initial injection for treatment of canine elbow osteoarthritis (OA), and to evaluate the pain reduction effect of the repeat injection. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Nine client owned dogs with grade 1 or 2 elbow OA were given an IA injection of tin-117m colloid in both elbows, one of which had been treated ≀12 months earlier with the same RSO device. Treatment safety was evaluated by joint fluid analysis at baseline (BL) and at 180 days after treatment, and by urinalysis, CBC, and serum chemistry analysis of diagnostic samples obtained at BL and 180 days. Radiographs, computed tomography, and MRI scans were obtained at BL and 180 days to determine if disease progression differed in elbows given one versus two injections. Clinical response to treatment was assessed subjectively by dog owner responses to the Canine Brief Pain Inventory (CBPI) survey at BL, 90 and 180 days, and objectively by investigator-conducted force plate (FP) analysis of dogs at BL, 90, and 180 days. RESULTS: All post-treatment urinalysis, CBC and clinical chemistry results were within normal ranges. Joint fluid analysis showed a significant (P=0.0411) reduction in the percentage of monocytes at 180 days, consistent with the tin-117m colloid mode of action of apoptosis of pro-inflammatory macrophages at the injection site. There was no significant difference in OA progression in elbows given one or two injections. The treatment success rate was 55.5% (5/9) on day 90 as determined either by CBPI responses or FP analysis, and 66.6% (6/9) on day 180 as determined by FP analysis. CONCLUSION: The tin-117m colloid can be safely given as a repeat injection 12 months after an initial injection, and can potentially provide a durable therapeutic response in dogs with elbow OA

    Fracture rate and time to fracture in dogs with appendicular osteosarcoma receiving finely fractionated compared to coarsely fractionated radiation therapy: A single institution study

    Abstract Background Radiation therapy (RT) is used for local pain alleviation in dogs with appendicular osteosarcoma (OS), especially among dogs that are poor surgical candidates for amputation. However, many historical reports of fractionated protocols lack time to fracture and fracture rates. Objectives The primary objectives of this retrospective study were to determine fracture rate and time to fracture of dogs receiving RT (coarse or fine fractionated) for appendicular OS. Secondary objectives were to evaluate tolerability and disease outcome measures. Methods Fifty‐one dogs that received RT as part of treatment for appendicular OS were available for evaluation. Forty‐five received coarse fractionation (C‐RT, 8 or 6 Gy per fraction protocols [C‐RT8 or C‐RT6]) while the remaining six received fine fractionation (F‐RT). Results The overall pathologic fracture rate was 37%. Pathologic fracture rate was significantly higher for dogs that received F‐RT (5/6, 83%) compared to dogs that received C‐RT (12/40, 30%, p = 0.021). In the 17 dogs that fractured, the overall median time to fracture was 57 days. For all dogs, the median progression free interval (PFI) and median overall survival time (OST) were 90 and 140 days, respectively. In a very small cohort of dogs (n = 7) treated with zoledronate and RT, fracture rate was 0% and extended survival times were noted. Conclusions In conclusion, C‐RT is recommended over F‐RT due to lower risk of pathologic fracture and similar PFI. Prospective evaluation of combined C‐RT and zoledronate, especially for dogs with poor surgical candidacy, is warranted for the treatment of canine appendicular osteosarcoma
