I encourage you to visit their website to learn more as I'm just interpreting what our oncologist told us about the Torigen vaccine.
It's not part of a funded study so you have to purchase the vaccine and agree to let your vet provide followup information back to the company.
Our dog's oncologist recommended it and said they've seen promising results in other patients, but wouldn't go so far as to say that it would prolong his life. The only published data I've seen from the company is a safety study.
We got the vaccine mostly as a hedge in case the chemo didn't work or he had side effects and we had to discontinue it, but also to provide data back to the company on their vaccine in the hopes that it will help other animals or for future human applications. So yeah, I'm basically paying them for their research with the only thing I'm getting in return is possibly a longer lifespan for my dog (but there's very little data to prove that it works)
