Supporting joint function and comfort

A clinical trial evaluating an injectable intra articular treatment designed to support joint function and mobility in dogs with elbow osteoarthritis.

Osteoarthritis can be challenging to manage, and studies like this help improve our understanding of additional treatment options.

About the Study

This study is assessing the role of an injectable intra articular therapy within the longer-term management of elbow osteoarthritis.

The aim is to better understand how this treatment may support comfort and mobility in affected dogs.

Eligibility

• Are otherwise in good general health

Suitability is assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Additional considerations

• Dogs are typically aged between 1–12 years

• Bodyweight is generally between 10–50 kg

• The elbows should be the primary joint affected

• Imaging (X-ray or CT) confirming elbow arthritis may be required

• Most previous or current medications are permitted

What Participation May Involve

Depending on the study phase, participation may include:

• Clinical examination

• Imaging such as radiographs or CT where required

• Treatment administration under sedation

• Follow-up visits over three months
