AUSTIN (KXAN) –  A San Francisco-based startup innovating a medication that may increase a dog’s lifespan is one step closer to getting the drug on the market. Loyal announced Tuesday the U.S. Food and Drug Administration determined its drug has a “reasonable expectation of effectiveness,” meaning there is strong evidence suggesting the drug would extend a dog’s life, especially the larger ones. “There's now a pathway for something to be approved for lifespan extension – for healthy lifespan extension,” Loyal CEO Celine Halioua, who grew up in Austin and graduated from The University of Texas at Austin, told KXAN. “It's actually, in some ways, crucial for dogs because when dogs get sick with age-related diseases – think cancers, dementia, osteoarthritis – it's really difficult to do much for them. And it's very, very, very expensive,” Halioua said.To get to this point, Loyal’s team conducted several studies, including an observational trial where Loyal researchers examined...
