Yep. It's actually spelled "palladia". If you search the forums you'll probably find a lot of info about it.
We used it with Abby, but it didn't really work for her. She was only on it (off and on) for 3 months. We had to stop as she had GI issues. During the 3 months, her (at the time) lone met got a little bigger, so it didn't really seem to do that much for her, although who knows - maybe it would have been even bigger or there would have been more if we hadn't used it.
Although we had no luck with it, there have been some dogs that have had great results with it and lung mets. Hope it works for London!
Would be interested to hear more about the study.

Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!
Palladia has been around for a few years, it was originally released for treatment of mast cell cancer in dogs. It is now being studied for use in treating other cancers. It became available after Maggie had her amp for mast cell so it was not an option for her. Quad pug Tani has re-curing mast cell tumors and palladia was suggested for her by one vet, but in consultation with our oncologist I have chosen not to use it at this point so I don't have any direct experience.
A google search brings several results for palladia use in dogs. You might also check out a blog called Rosie's Road. Rosie is a lab being treated for mast cell cancer, she was on palladia successfully for a long time. She was recently taken off because of high blood pressure. Although Rosie has a different cancer you might find some useful info there on how she tolerated palladia for a long time.

I remember several dogs here with OSA that have been on it. You can also PM 'kbryant' as Mackenzie was on it too and she did have OSA. (you can do a member search and send her a personal message - Kami will be happy to answer your questions)
Unfortunately, no one knows for sure if it helped. If there are no side effects, then I would guess it's worth a try. We can only say for certain, it hasn't cured anyone with OSA.
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
Lucky went on Palladia along with Cytoxan and Lasix after he was diagnosed with lung mets from his osteosarcoma. He couldn't handle the Cytoxan and Lasix, but he was on Palladia by itself three days a week after the diagnosis, and his lung mets completely disappeared for almost a year. Feel free to PM us if you have any questions about it. Of course because of our experience I would highly recommend it, but it is just one isolated experience.
