Oral Mast Cell Tumor Treatment for Dogs
Product Description
PALLADIA® Tablets are an FDA-sanctioned oral therapy for dogs suffering from recurring Patnaik grade II or III cutaneous mast cell tumors. This specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor functions by obstructing the growth of tumor cells and diminishing their blood supply. Intended for use under veterinary prescription, it provides a clinically validated systemic treatment solution when surgery on its own does not suffice.
Benefits
- Targeted Therapy: Specifically inhibits receptor tyrosine kinases, including KIT, VEGFR2, and PDGFR, involved in tumor growth.
- Controls Tumor Growth: Helps reduce tumor cell proliferation and limits the formation of blood vessels supplying tumors.
- Oral Administration: Administered by mouth every other day, allowing convenient at-home dosing under veterinary guidance.
- FDA Approved: Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in eligible dogs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What condition does PALLADIA treat in dogs?
Ans: PALLADIA is approved for the treatment of Patnaik grade II or III recurrent cutaneous mast cell tumors in dogs, with or without involvement of regional lymph nodes. It is indicated only for eligible canine patients under veterinary supervision.
Q2: How does PALLADIA work?
Ans: PALLADIA functions as a receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor. It targets receptors such as KIT, VEGFR2, and PDGFR that contribute to tumor growth and blood vessel development, thereby helping control the progression of mast cell tumors.
Q3: What is the recommended starting dose?
Ans: The recommended initial dose is 3.25 mg per kg of body weight administered orally every other day. Your veterinarian may adjust dosing or pause treatment depending on how your dog responds.
Q4: What side effects should pet owners watch for?
Ans: Frequent side effects consist of diarrhea, vomiting, reduced appetite, fatigue, difficulty walking, and weight loss. Lab findings like neutropenia and hypoalbuminemia have also been noted during clinical studies.
Q5: Is PALLADIA safe for pregnant dogs?
Ans: PALLADIA should not be administered to breeding dogs or to pregnant or lactating females. As an antiangiogenic agent, it may interfere with fetal blood vessel development and pose risks during pregnancy.
