We regret that we are not able to answer questions or refer owners to enrollment for specific clinical trials. If you are interested in learning more about an individual trial, please contact that university's clinical trial office directly.

Veterinary clinical trials are research studies that study the safety and effectiveness of new approaches to care for diseases that occur in both human and companion animals. These studies are prospective with the goal of discovering new or better ways to diagnose, treat, or prevent disease that affects both pets and their owners.
