New listings in AVMA Veterinary Clinical Trials Registry – September 2024
The AVMA’s Veterinary Clinical Trials Registry—formerly the AVMA Animal Health Studies Database—connects clinical scientists seeking animal participants for their studies with veterinarians and owners looking for studies for their patients and pets.
Animal owners and other interested parties can use this registry to find veterinary and animal health clinical studies on conditions ranging from arthritis to diabetes to cancer—in dogs, cats, horses, and other species.
The Veterinary Clinical Trials Registry improves upon several features of the previous database, including making browsing and sharing studies easy, notifying users when relevant studies are published, and streamlining the study submission process for study personnel and curators.
Below are some of the most recent veterinary clinical studies listed in the Veterinary Clinical Trials Registry. Information about participation in the studies is available at the database site.
