Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell Gene Expression Signatures Predict Long-term Survivorship in Canine DLBCL.

Pet dogs spontaneously develop a form of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that recapitulates many of the features of double hit () human DLBCL. We recently completed a clinical trial in dogs with DLBCL using a combination of canine anti-CD20 antibody and low dose doxorubicin followed by one of three small molecule immune-modulating agents (KPT-9274, TAK-981 or RV1001). Clinical outcomes and tumor specific biomarkers of response from these dogs have been previously reported.

Targeted proteomics of cerebrospinal fluid in treatment naïve multiple sclerosis patients identifies immune biomarkers of clinical phenotypes.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease with heterogeneous clinical presentations and variable long-term disability accumulation. There are currently no standard criteria to accurately predict disease outcomes. In this study we investigated the cross-sectional relationship between disease phenotype and immune-modulating cytokines and chemokines in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

Baseline tumor gene expression signatures correlate with chemoimmunotherapy treatment responsiveness in canine B cell lymphoma.

Pet dogs develop spontaneous diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and veterinary clinical trials have been employed to treat canine DLBCL and to inform clinical trials for their human companions. A challenge that remains is selection of treatment to improve outcomes. The dogs in this study were part of a larger clinical trial evaluating the use of combinations of doxorubicin chemotherapy, anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, and one of three small molecule inhibitors: KPT-9274, TAK-981, or RV1001.
