Comparative Oncology Trials Consortium (COTC)
The Comparative Oncology Trials Consortium (COTC) is an active network of academic comparative
oncology centers, centrally managed by the NIH-National Cancer Institute's Comparative Oncology
Program, that functions to design and execute clinical trials in dogs with cancer to assess novel
therapies. The goal of this effort is to answer biological questions geared to inform the development
path of these agents for future use in human cancer patients. Trials conducted by the COTC are
pharmacokinetically and pharmacodynamically rich with the product of this work directly integrated
into the design of current human Phase I and II clinical trials. Our trials are carried at COTC
member institutions, which currently include eighteen sites.
All veterinary universities that met the established criteria have been invited to join the Comparative Oncology Trial Consortium.
