About Tanovea
Tanovea™ (rabacfosadine for injection) is a novel small molecule drug designed to preferentially target and attack cancer cells implicated in lymphoma, one of the most common cancers seen in companion animals. In multiple clinical studies in over 300 client-owned dogs with naturally occurring lymphoma, Tanovea has consistently demonstrated robust anti-tumor activity in both naïve and relapsed cases, with a generally well-tolerated safety profile. Tanovea has a rapid onset of action and is being investigated as a convenient, every-three-week treatment for up to five doses, representing a substantial reduction in client visits relative to non-approved, ‘human’ generic multi-agent chemotherapy regimens commonly utilized in dogs with lymphoma.
VetDC has an exclusive North American license from Gilead Sciences to develop and commercialize Tanovea for companion animal cancer.
