In 2009 and 2010 our Veterinary Dermatology Department, under the leadership of Dr. Terry Grieshaber, DACVD, participated in three clinical trials to evaluate a new compound, developed by Pfizer, to treat Atopic dermatitis in the dog. These trials were conducted nation wide with Circle City among those clinics that enrolled the highest number of evaluable cases in each trial.
We are flattered to announce that Pfizer has once again invited Dr. Grieshaber and Circle City’s Dermatology Team to participate in two additional clinical trials in 2011. These trials are designed to evaluate two additional new drugs that again were developed to treat Atopic dermatitis in the dog.
Training for the first of these two trials will begin the end of January. Although we currently have scant details about what these trials will entail, based on previous experience, requirements will likely include that Atopic dermatitis has been confirmed by history and/or allergy testing and that dietary allergies have either been ruled out or controlled. In previous trials those clients who participated were generously compensated.
Please keep this option in mind as you see your Atopic patients and perhaps develop a list of clients that may be interested. Additional information will be provided as we receive it.

Hello. Just read this email and was wondering if Kizzy might be considered? As you know she has been on the Prednisone for several years now. Her dosage is down but she flairs up and is still very hard to determine cause and control.
ReplyDeleteI know that just learning about this may rule her out. Also that we travel so much for our work.
At any rate wwe are excited to learn of ongoing studies and trials and hope for good news.
