Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the accuracy of compounded chemotherapy drugs (chlorambucil and cyclophosphamide) from nine veterinary pharmacies, comparing drug amounts and variability between 503A and 503B facilities.
- Of the 68 samples tested, 29% did not meet FDA standards for acceptable discrepancies, with higher variability observed in 503A pharmacies compared to the more consistent 503B pharmacy.
- Heterogeneity in drug concentrations both within and between batches was significant, indicating potential quality control issues regardless of the pharmacy designation.
Background: The melanocortin 4 antagonist TCMCB07 is safe and effective in reversing cachexia caused by sepsis or cancer in rodents. The safety and pharmacokinetics of TCMCB07 are demonstrated in healthy beagle dogs.
Hypothesis/objectives: The objectives of this study were to investigate the safety, peak plasma concentrations, and potential for efficacy of TCMCB07 in pet dogs with naturally occurring cachexia over a 4-week time period.
Autologous peripheral blood haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) cures 33%-40% of dogs with high-grade B-cell lymphoma. We hypothesized, based on human allogeneic bone marrow transplantation literature, that transplanting dogs using canine donor leukocyte-matched CD34+ cells would lead to fewer relapses and increased cure rates. We retrospectively reviewed medical records of dogs diagnosed with high-grade B-cell lymphoma who received an identical allogeneic HCT.

Case Summary: An 8-year-old male castrated Briard dog diagnosed with lymphoma (IVb, B-cell) presented for allogeneic HSCT. Despite multiple platelet, fresh frozen plasma, and red blood cell transfusions prolonged recovery and clinical bleeding occurred.
Combination chemotherapy can be an effective option for treating resistant lymphoma in dogs. This retrospective study examined the tolerability and efficacy of the combination of 5-(3,3-dimethyl-1-triazeno)-imidazole-4-carboxamide (dacarbazine) (DTIC) in a population of dogs with lymphoma resistant to a doxorubicin-containing chemotherapy protocol. Mitoxantrone was administered at 5 mg/m IV over 10 min followed by DTIC at 600 mg/m IV over 5 hr, every 3 wk.
