A dose‐escalation study of combretastatin A4‐phosphate in healthy dogs

Abstract: Combretastatin A4-Phosphate (CA4P) is a vascular disrupting agent revealing promising results in cancer treatments for humans. The aim of this study was to investigate the safety and adverse events of CA4P in healthy dogs as a prerequisite to application of CA4P in dogs with cancer.Ten healthy dogs were included. The effects of escalating doses of CA4P on physical, haematological and biochemical parameters, systolic arterial blood pressure, electrocardiogram, echocardiographic variables and general wellbeing w… Show more

“…Although not all tumours responded to the same extent, CA4P treatment resulted in an overall significant decrease in tumour vascularization and a significant increase of tumour necrosis, suggesting that 75 mg m −2 can be considered as an effective therapeutic dose. In accordance with the dose of 52 to 75 mg m −2 recommended in our previous toxicity study in healthy dogs, the results of the present study suggest that 75 mg m −2 is reasonably well tolerated by dogs with spontaneous cancer. Apart from one case of severe (but temporary) neurotoxicity, AEs were generally mild and transient and comparable to the side effects described in healthy dogs …”
