Comparative Effect of Pacing Sites in Dogs with Complete Heart Block (Study Closed)
February 4, 2009

Our long term research goal is to optimize pacing techniques for companion animals requiring pacemaker therapy. Such evaluation is justified as complete heart block is a common debilitating condition treated by veterinary cardiologists.

Diagnosis of Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia (IMHA) in Dogs (Study Closed)
August 16, 2012

We hope to improve the diagnosis and monitoring of dogs with IMHA by using several methods. We hope this will lead to a better and standardized diagnostic scheme to diagnose IMHA in dogs
Dr Giger
is looking for dogs with IMHA. The investigators are offering free diagnostic testing on IMHA cases for a limited time See the trial page for specific information on eligibility.

Methylprednisolone Sodium Succinate and Polyethylene Glycol in Canine Spinal Cord Injury (Study Closed)
September 18, 2008

This study aims to determine whether adjunctive medical therapy with polyethylene glycol or methylprednisolone sodium succinate improves the outcome of surgically treated dogs with disc herniations more than placebo.
Dr Olby
is looking for dogs with acute thoracolumbar disc herniation that can be taken to one of the participating centers for the study. See the trial page for specific information on eligibility.
MHC Haplotyping in dogs with Acquired Myasthenia Gravis (Study Closed)
September 25, 2008

The purpose of this study is to determine if dogs with acquired myasthenia gravis have similar genes (MHC haplotype). We will use DNA collected from blood cells or from cells from the lining of the mouth to do the genetic analysis. The genetic analysis will be done in the Veterinary School at UC Davis.
Dr Vernau
is looking for dogs with acquired myasthenia gravis. See the trial page for specific information on eligibility.
Minimally-invasive laser ablation for management of intramural ureteral ectopia in dogs (Study Closed)
October 10, 2007

This prospective study will compare a new minimally invasive technique to a historical surgical control for the fixation for intramural ureteral ectopia, to identify differences in post-operative continence rates, level of post-operative urinary infections and parameters of pain in the first week post-intervention. In doing so we hope to determine whether there is a therapeutic advantage to this technique or if there is a significant decrease in post-operative pain.

Pathologic Fracture Risk of Tumor-bearing Canine Antebrachii (Study Closed)
April 15, 2011

This study seeks to correlate calculated CT indices of bone strength with the biomechanically measured actual strength of the bone. It is hoped that correlations found will allow prediction of patients at most risk for pathologic fracture and therefore improve patient selection for treatment options such as palliative radiation therapy when amputation is not elected.
Dr Steffey
is looking for dogs with osteosarcomas of the distal radius requiring limb amputation. See the tria
