Clinical Trials for Sarcoma

Sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of malignant tumors arising from connective tissues including bone, muscle, fat, and fibrous tissue in dogs and cats. They range from low-grade locally invasive tumors to highly aggressive metastatic cancers. University clinical trials are actively researching surgical techniques, radiation protocols, immunotherapy, and targeted molecular therapies through funded research programs.

Understanding Sarcoma in Pets

Sarcomas are a broad group of cancers arising from connective tissues — including bone, muscle, fat, and fibrous tissue — in both dogs and cats. They range from locally invasive to highly metastatic depending on type and location.

Who it tends to affect

  • Typical size: Affects both dogs and cats
  • Typical age: Age at diagnosis varies by sarcoma type; many are seen in middle-aged to older animals

Can my pet join — does breed matter?

Eligibility varies considerably since sarcoma covers many specific tumor types. Trials typically enroll based on the specific subtype, tumor grade, and prior treatment. Both dogs and cats may be eligible depending on the study's focus.

Most trials are open to all breeds and set requirements by size, weight, age, and diagnosis instead. Our matching service checks your pet's specific details against each study's actual requirements.

How it works

1

Tell us about your pet

Share the diagnosis, your pet's age and size, and your location. It takes a few minutes — no account needed.

2

We research current trials

We check open studies against your pet's actual eligibility — diagnosis, stage, location, and prior treatment. Most matches come back in 2–3 days.

3

You get your matches

A personalized list of trials your pet may qualify for, with locations, funding status, and exactly how to enroll.

The trials themselves are free and run by research institutions. Our fee covers the research and eligibility matching — and if we don't find any matches for your pet, you don't pay.
