Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of frunevetmab given at monthly intervals in a randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, double-blind superiority study.
Animals: Two hundred seventy-five client-owned cats with naturally-occurring OA pain and associated mobility impairment and disability.
Background: The therapeutic strategy of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) often involves a combination of an antibiotic with an anti-inflammatory agent. Aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical effect of a new combination product containing tulathromycin and ketoprofen for the treatment of naturally occurring BRD.
Methods: Two hundred and eighty animals were randomized upon diagnosis of BRD.
The current studies aimed to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) profile and to establish a PK-PD model for ketoprofen in a new fixed combination product containing tulathromycin (2.5 mg/kg) and ketoprofen (3 mg/kg) to treat bovine respiratory disease associated with pyrexia in cattle. Firstly, the effect of different ketoprofen doses as mono-substance (1, 3, and 6 mg/kg subcutaneous) on lipopolysaccharide-induced fever was evaluated which indicated that rectal temperature reduction lasted longer in the calves receiving 3 and 6 mg/kg ketoprofen.

Hypothesis/objectives: The objective was to evaluate efficacy and safety of oclacitinib (Apoquel®) for the control of AD in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
