Clinical investigator site applications are now being accepted for acute canine pancreatitis trial

Orlando, Florida, Jan 19, 2020 – Ishihara Sangyo Kaisha, Ltd. and its U.S. subsidiary ISK Animal Health, LLC (collectively, “ISK”), in partnership with AlcheraBio LLC, announce the launch of a US clinical trial for the first treatment of acute canine pancreatitis (ACP) that addresses the unique cascade of inflammatory response in ACP. Starting today, ISK and AlcheraBio will begin accepting clinic requests to apply as clinical investigator sites.


“This will be a very exciting clinical trial, and we are pleased ISK selected us as their partner to conduct this study. Our team understands the need to recruit qualified clinics to participate in this clinical trial, and we will start recruiting clinics in the next few weeks,” states Stephen Bienhoff, DVM, MBA, PhD, Chief Science Officer at AlcheraBio.


AlcheraBio will be evaluating potential clinical investigator sites to participate in the trial during the next few weeks. Ideal sites will have the following criteria:

  • Currently diagnoses a minimum of 6-8 acute pancreatitis cases per year.

  • Previous experience as a clinical investigator site or a commitment to training to become a clinical investigator site.

  • Capable of accommodating cases for 48 hours in the hospital during the critical evaluation and treatment period.

  • Participating clinical investigator sites will receive the following benefits:

  • Covered testing and treatment for canine acute pancreatitis for their clients in study.

  • Ability to continue to provide standard of care for their canine acute pancreatitis cases, in addition to the investigative product.

  • Investigator compensation for each evaluable case and training honorarium and clinic incentives.

"Canine pancreatitis is a deadly disease that affects dogs of all breeds currently treated only by symptomatic therapy,” explains Dr. Jörg M. Steiner, med.vet., Dr.med.vet., PhD, DACVIM-SAIM, DECVIM-CA, AGAF. “Due to the inflammatory nature of ACP, this is a game changing trial with treatments targeting the LFA-1 pathway.”
