Background: Erythemato-ceruminous otitis externa (ECOE) is frequently seen in dogs affected with an allergic skin disease, with recurrent secondary bacteria and yeast overgrowths (detected on cytological examination).
Objectives: The objective of the study was to compare the efficacy and safety of an ear spray containing only hydrocortisone aceponate glucocorticoid diester (HCA) to a control product (CTRL), an approved otic formulation containing prednisolone-miconazole-polymyxin combination, in dogs with ECOE.
Animals: In total, 97 and 104 dogs with ECOE were respectively randomly assigned to the tested ear treatment product group (HCA) or the commercially available ear treatment control product group (CTRL).
This multicenter-controlled, double-masked randomized European study was conduc-ted to confirm both the efficacy and safety of a deslorelin implant in controlling fertility and sexual behavior in a large population of tom cats over a 12-month period. Among the 225 screened individuals, a total of 205 privately owned indoor intact male cats, aged 3 months of age or older, were randomly allocated to a deslorelin implant (n = 154) or to a negative control group (n = 51). After the screening visit performed between day (D)-14 and D-7, six additional visits were sche-duled on D0, D45, D93, D186, D279 and D372.

Objectives: To investigate remission over a 36-week extension period in patients with moderate to severe PPR successfully treated with 16 weeks' treatment with ivermectin 1% cream once daily (QD) or metronidazole 0.75% cream twice daily (BID) in a randomized, parallel-group Phase III study.
