OncoK9: CANDiD Study

Peer-Reviewed Clinical Validation

Published in PLOS ONE

APRIL 26, 2022
Clinical validation of a next-generation sequencing based multi-cancer early detection “liquid biopsy” blood test in over 1,000 dogs using an independent testing set: The CANcer Detection in Dogs (CANDiD) study

The international, multi-center clinical study demonstrated that OncoK9® – The Liquid Biopsy Test for Dogs™ can detect 30 different types of cancer with a simple blood draw. The CANDiD study included blood samples collected prospectively from more than 1,000 client-owned dogs at more than 40 clinical sites across the United States, Canada, Brazil, the Netherlands, France, and Hong Kong between 2019 and 2021.

OncoK9 Cancer SAFE™
(Screening Age For Early detection) Tool

This interactive tool provides a recommended age to start screening individual dogs for cancer based on age and breed. The tool’s recommendations are based on a large PetDx study published in PLOS ONE, a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
