Upcoming In-Person CE Meeting — Summer 2023
Thursday, June 15, 2023 — 6:15pm – 8:30pm
“Verdinexor — A New Oral Treatment Option for Canine Lymphoma”
Presented by: Dr. Julie Kluxdal
This lecture will discuss the novel class of drugs called SINE inhibitors, with emphasis on Laverdia CA-1 (verdinexor). We will review SINE mechanism of action along with a thorough review of the data leading to a reasonable expectation of efficacy and FDA conditional approval of Laverdia-CA1. We will also look at where this new oral option fits into specialty and primary care practice therapies as consideration for future use. The attendee will learn how to properly dose and safely dispense Laverdia-CA1 as well as how to monitor their lymphoma patient on Laverdia-CA1, including how to address any potential adverse events.

As we discussed their dog’s long life and worked through planning our best protocol for ending it, the room became almost palpably wet through the tears. Things went as perfectly as possible. They thanked me as we hugged. I wrapped their dog up and left them sobbing on the couch as I walked down the hall to the front door. Holding my bag in one arm and their medium-size dog in the other made it difficult to turn the knob. By focusing on it and using my remaining two fingers, I was able to push it open enough to squeeze through.
My first thought was “Wow, it got really dark outside”. As a motion activated night light came on, I realized I had not exited the home as expected. Instead, I was standing in a sort of makeshift dungeon with faux brick walls. As I scanned the room I realized there were whips, elongated toys, and leather clothes hanging up.
