Animal health companies join forces to provide veterinarians across the country with more options for treating cancer in dogs

PHOENIX, Oct. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --  Vidium Animal Health announced today that it has partnered with Torigen Pharmaceuticals, an animal health biologics company, to offer genomic testing and precision medicine to more veterinarians. By opening up the use of personalized, precision medicine to the veterinary marketplace, Vidium and Torigen are providing specialists and general practicing veterinarians with more options to advance the care of dogs with cancer.

Vidium's genomic-based diagnostic products leverage the latest science available to provide critical information about a dog's cancer. The company's best-in-class genomic diagnostic test, SearchLight DNAⓇ, uses next-generation sequencing to identify important mutations in 120 relevant cancer genes. Knowing a tumor's genetic fingerprint can aid in the diagnosis and prognosis of cancer and inform treatment decisions. Vidium also offers a world-renowned specialty pathology team to support the diagnosis and treatment planning of diseases in small and large animals.

Torigen's expert sales team will now include SearchLight DNA alongside the company's personalized cancer immunotherapies in its precision medicine portfolio. When current treatment options aren't right for pets with cancer, Torigen offers a different solution. Using a portion of the patient's own tumor, Torigen's lab prepares a personalized vaccine, harnessing the patient's immune system to fight cancer.

Canine cancer care is becoming more accessible and precise with these diagnostic and therapeutic tools. Together with veterinarians all over the country, Vidium and Torigen are helping expand options for the pets we love.

"By leveraging the sales team at Torigen to provide veterinarians a suite of advanced precision cancer diagnostic tools, we can offer veterinary teams a unique combination of genomic, pathology, and oncology expertise to expand their options and help improve outcomes for their patients," comments David Haworth, DVM, PhD, President and Co-founder at Vidium.

"We are thrilled to be working with the team at Vidium," adds Ashley Kalinauskas, founder and CEO of Torigen. ""The combination of the company's diagnostic tests and precision medicine expertise coupled with our targeted cancer treatment will give veterinarians and their clients more cancer treatment options. I'm excited to leverage our specialty sales force to deliver value to veterinary clinics across the country."
