Torigen Pharmaceuticals

Today is Veterinary Appreciation Day, which is a day dedicated to recognizing the amazing work of veterinary professionals and staff!

At Torigen, we know firsthand how veterinary teams often work long, hard hours while insuring the best possible care for our furry friends.

And when delivering a cancer diagnosis, it often takes lots of compassion and empathy to guide owners through a challenging time.

We appreciate all the veterinary teams who utilize our cancer immunotherapy in their practice. Together, we can change the way cancer is treated.

Torigen is exhibiting at SVSTS Thursday-Saturday in Clearwater Beach, Florida!

Make sure to stop by our booth to enter the raffle for a Torigen swag item! You won't want to miss your chance to meet up with us in-person to learn more about our autologous cancer immunotherapy.

Come see us this weekend at the Mountain West Veterinary Conference or First Coast Veterinary Conference!

Our team will be happy to educate you on Torigen's cancer immunotherapy so you can help patients like Polly in your practice!

And you'll want to make sure you enter our raffle for a swag item from Torigen!

Check out our new blog post, "Autologous Cancer Vaccines in the Era of Personalized Medicine," in which we discuss recent advances in ACV technology, applications of ACVs to veterinary oncology, and more!

Read here:

Autologous Cancer Vaccines in the Era of Personalized Medicine — Torigen Pharmaceuticals At Torigen, we are making strides in ACV technology. We create a personalized vaccine with a unique MIM-SIS adjuvant for companion animals that is available for commercial sale for any type of solid tumor. 

Did you know... 30-50% of equine pathology submissions are skin tumors?

Torigen’s autologous vaccine is an active form of immunotherapy that uses the patient’s own tumor cells to train their immune system to fight their tumor.

Our individualized vaccine can be administered alone or in combination with other cancer treatments.

We're answering another FAQ!

Q: How should Torigen's immunotherapy be administered?
A: Our autologous immunotherapy treatment protocol consists of a subcutaneous injection given once weekly for 3 consecutive weeks for small animals and 6 consecutive weeks for horses.

What other questions do you have for us that we can answer?

We're super excited to share our latest podcast feature on Progress, Potential, And Possibilities with Ira Pastor.

Tune in to check out the engaging conversation between Ashely and Ira, going all the way back to Ashley's time at Notre Dame, to the science behind how Torigen's immunotherapy stimulates the immune system, and some plans for Torigen's future growth in the veterinary market.
