GOSSELIES, Belgium, May 21, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:
TheraVet (ISIN: BE0974387194 - Ticker: ALVET) (Paris:ALVET) (Brussels:ALVET), a pioneering company in the management of osteoarticular diseases in pets, announces the early completion of the patient recruitment of its the pivotal European multicentric clinical study assessing VISCO-VET in canine osteoarthritis (VV-OA2) due to recruitment difficulties. Despite the efforts to enroll patients, the number of patients enrolled fell short of the initial target.
VV-OA2, a prospective, multicentric, controlled, double-blinded, randomized, pivotal field study in client-owned dogs suffering from osteoarthritis (OA), was designed to evaluate the potential of a unique intra-articular injection of VISCO-VET in stifle or elbow to improve dog’s mobility and reduce pain compared to a non-treated control group 3-month after treatment. 67 dogs were enrolled in the study, compared with an initial sample size of 171. The decision to end recruitment was taken after careful consideration of various factors, including the impact on study timelines and resources deployed.
The Company plans to continue with the analysis of the data collected. The results of the study are expected to be delivered by the end of the fourth quarter of 2024. If statistical significance is not achieved, the findings will provide valuable insights that may inform future research efforts in this area.
Additionally, the results will serve as a basis to explore potential partnerships for co-development and licensing opportunities. The Company recognizes the importance of collaboration in advancing veterinary medical research and is open to partnering with organizations interested in further developing our product.
Furthermore, the information obtained from this study could have implications beyond canine health. Insights into safety and efficacy offer potential avenues for application and research on other species as horses.
