Speaker 1: Okay, when we come back, What if you could give
Speaker 1: your papa pill and they'd live longer.
Speaker 2: Apparently that technology is right around the corner.
Speaker 1: So we're going to be talking about a clinical trial
Speaker 1: called Stay.
Speaker 2: It's apparently a real possibility.
Speaker 1: Gene Hackman has been found dead along with his wife
Speaker 1: and their dog in their mountainside home in Santa Fe,
Speaker 1: New Mexico. They were found during a welfare check yesterday.
Speaker 1: Hackman won two oscars during his more than forty year
Speaker 1: career for the French Connection. In nineteen seventy two and
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety three, you've been talking about.
Speaker 3: The Queen again. On Independence Day.
Speaker 1: For the Unforgiven, Gene Hackman was ninety five. The number
Speaker 1: of Americans applying for jobless benefits last week has jumped
Speaker 1: to a two hundred and forty two thousand. That's a
Speaker 1: three month high. And if your heart stops beating, your
Speaker 1: watch can tell you about it. The FDA has approved
Speaker 1: a feature on the Pixel three watch. The feature detects
Speaker 1: if you have a pulse. If a pulse isn't detected,
Speaker 1: the watch will say, hey, are you okay? And if
Speaker 1: you don't respond, it'll call nine one one for you.
Speaker 1: It's already available in other countries and could be in
Speaker 1: the US by the in the next month. Long Live
Speaker 1: the Dogs. We may soon be able to help our
Speaker 1: furry friends live longer, healthier lives. And to find out
Speaker 1: more about that, let's say good morning to the founder
Speaker 1: and CEO of Loyal Selene Hallio. Yah.
Speaker 2: Okay, I probably messed that up. Selene. How do you
Speaker 2: say your last name?
Speaker 3: It's Holly Love.
Speaker 2: Holly Love, oh hollywah.
Speaker 3: Okay, sorry I have I have never had an instance
Speaker 3: in my life where somebody's pronounced it rya the first try.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I was going to try, and then I
Speaker 1: forgot to pre read it again and well anyway, so uh, Eileene,
Speaker 1: thanks so much for coming on today. We were very
Speaker 1: fascinated about this story because we love our pets. We
Speaker 1: wish that we could have them longer, and now there
Speaker 1: may be a way. So tell us about what this
Speaker 1: new clinical trial is and what we're looking for.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, we are developing a drug that, if it
Speaker 3: gets approved, you'll be able to go to your vet
Speaker 3: and de prescribed a drug that's only use case to
Speaker 3: keep your relatively healthy senior dog healthier longer. So we're
Speaker 3: basically trying to help senior dogs have a higher quality
Speaker 3: of life and a longer life too.
Speaker 1: And what does the pill do that enables him to
Speaker 1: live longer and healthier.
Speaker 3: So the kind of cornerstone of lifespan extension has been
Speaker 3: understand is core restriction. Actually, so you could there's a
Speaker 3: really interesting study by the dog food company Purina that
Speaker 3: showed that you could expend a lifespan, right, that's my dog.
Speaker 3: Extend a lifespan of labradors by two years if you
Speaker 3: clorqually restrict at them. But literally, no one wants to
Speaker 3: colorically restrict their dog. Maybe Della is barking because she
Speaker 3: just heard the word cloric restriction. And so what we
Speaker 3: worked really hard on was can you develop a pill
Speaker 3: that emulates the benefits that happens in a dog need
Speaker 3: colorqually restrict without making them lose weight, without not allowing
Speaker 3: them to have tree And that's been the last five years.
Speaker 2: Of loyal Okay.
Speaker 1: So and when you're talking about extending lives, you said
Speaker 1: for a laboratory it's like two years. And is the
Speaker 1: goal then just longevity or is it to have them
Speaker 1: longer and have them healthier? Because you know, if they're
Speaker 1: if they can't move and that kind of stuff, do
Speaker 1: you really want to have them longer? You know?
Speaker 3: Yeah, the way to think about it is pulling out
Speaker 3: the healthy middle years. So yes, absolutely longer and healthier.
Speaker 1: And is this only for dogs? Are you looking at
Speaker 1: other at cats or just dogs?
Speaker 3: Well, my kitten is also running around and we have
Speaker 3: a contingency at a company that are heavy cat people,
Speaker 3: so we would consider cats too. I think it's definitely
Speaker 3: going to be on the docket, but we're currently focusing
Speaker 3: on dogs right now.
Speaker 1: Okay, So and you are you have to get approval
Speaker 1: before you can start doing this from governmental organizations.
Speaker 2: So how do you go about getting that?
Speaker 3: Oh, well, it's a lot of work. We've been working
Speaker 3: on it for about five years. So yeah, it's actually
Speaker 3: like a it's like a human drug that you might
Speaker 3: get from your doctor. Right, you have to get FDA
Speaker 3: approval on you know, does it work, is it safe?
Speaker 3: And we are running through those processes and we're hopefully
Speaker 3: we're projecting FDA approval at the end of this year.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: And you are doing a study and is that for
Speaker 1: the FDA approval where you're doing some trials or does
Speaker 1: that come after it's in.
Speaker 3: Parallel actually, Okay, so yeah, we are running in parallel
Speaker 3: to the drug being on market. We are going to
Speaker 3: have about a thousand dogs in the US that are
Speaker 3: going to be followed for five or more years to
Speaker 3: look at. Okay, how long does this extend our lifespan?
Speaker 3: And how how do they age over the years of
Speaker 3: being on this drug?
Speaker 1: Okay, and you're looking you're going to do a thousand dogs?
Speaker 1: You have all the dogs you need or do you
Speaker 1: need more?
Speaker 3: We're pretty close, but we could take some more. We
Speaker 3: could always take more dogs. And we have a couple
Speaker 3: of sites local in the area too. We have Plaza
Speaker 3: to the Animal in Torrents. We have one in Norco
Speaker 3: one in Santa Clarita. If you're a dog owner and
Speaker 3: you're interested in being a part of a really important
Speaker 3: canine longevity study, you can go on our website loyal
Speaker 3: dot com and drop in your zip code and find
Speaker 3: all the study sites.
Speaker 1: Okay, so if you're interested in participating, and then does
Speaker 1: it also have information about this people want to find
Speaker 1: out more about the new drug and where it's at.
