How Drug Works

Dogs would get a shot or pill every three to six months. The FDA approved the effectiveness of the shot. The company is now looking into a pill form.

"We designed LOY–001 as a long-acting injectable administered by your veterinarian every three to six months. In parallel, through our recently-announced partnership with Crinetics, we’re also developing LOY-003, a daily pill to address this same IGF-1 over-expression," Halioua said.

If approved both could be ready by 2026.

Recruiting Senior Dogs For Test

Loyal is also recruiting senior dogs to be part of its study.
