Boehringer Ingelheim, a global leader in animal health, and CarthroniX, a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing small molecule-based therapies for degenerative and aging-related diseases, announce that they have entered into a research collaboration to pursue small molecule therapeutics in canine oncology.
When it comes to the treatment of cancer in dogs, veterinarians have limited therapeutic options compared to other areas. Due to this unmet medical need, Boehringer Ingelheim is committed to oncology research in animal health. Under the agreement, Boehringer Ingelheim will test a select group of small molecules provided by CarthroniX with the goal of determining their impact on canine cancers.
