Celine Halioua’s company, Loyal, is getting ready to enter clinical trials for its new canine drug. Her goal? To give you more healthy, happy years with your dogs.
30 Under 30 list, she told us that “There has never been a drug approved for aging for any species, dog or human. My core goal in life is to get the first drug approved.”
“We’re building this path to approving an aging drug for dogs,” Halioua, 28, says. “So that once somebody figures it out once, then it applies to others.” The challenge the company had in working with the FDA is that the regulatory body typically looks to approve drugs for diseases. But the two drugs that Loyal is working on aren’t aimed at disease but rather longevity–helping dogs live longer. So obtaining a protocol concurrence — a process where the FDA works with a private company to okay a study design where success is likely to lead to approval — took several rounds of discussions.
Halioua founded Loyal in 2019 with an eye to dealing with one of the great tragedies of life: humans live a lot longer than their dogs. A part of the reason for this is the inbreeding that created and domesticated dogs in the first place, she says. But it’s possible that dogs could live longer than they do., found that calorie restricted diets to keep Labrador Retrievers lean not only increased their lifespan but also their quality of life.
