Ongoing EU Clinical Trials

ESVONC attaches great importance to innovation and evidence-based medicine in the field of veterinary oncology. Therefore, we are happy to share with you with a monthly overview of ongoing canine oncology trials in Europe. We are convinced that knowledge of these trials will enhance collaboration between researchers and clinicians, thus increasing recruitment for clinical trials and treatment options for dogs.

Please find below a non-exhaustive listing of ongoing trials as gathered in the Oncowaf database. For more details about these trials, please visit https://oncowaf.be/en/ClinicalTrials.

If you have an ongoing clinical trial and would like to add it to the Oncowaf clinical trial database and this mailing, please contact contact@oncowaf.com. This list is an intiative of dr. Laetitia Cicchelero (DVM, PhD, Cross-health coordinator @ Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Ghent University). Laetitia is initiator and inspirer of ONCOWAF. ESVONC wishes to thank Laetitia for her efforts to create this useful overview.

This list is updated on a monthly basis.
(green: new trial, orange: trial enters its last month of recruitment).
