Reminder - we are currently recruiting cats with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) for an new clinical study.
This study is investigating a new medication that may help slow the progression of CKD in cats.
Cats may be eligible if they:
🐾 Have IRIS Stage II or III CKD
🐾 Are comfortable with vet visits and blood sampling (twelve in-clinic visits in 12 month period)
🐾 Can take a small tablet twice daily (your cat will receive either drug or placebo)
🐾 Are not currently receiving NSAIDs (eg. Metacam, Onsior) or steroid medications
🐾 Do not have diabetes, cancer, or heart failure
🐾 Are otherwise medically stable
If your cat has hyperthyroidism or another medical condition, they may still be eligible if stable on treatment.
The initial screening appointment involves your cat staying with us for part of the day and may include mild sedation for an ultrasound examination.
All study-related appointments are provided free of charge, including consultations, blood and urine testing and blood pressure monitoring.
We are also happy to accept referrals or new patients for study consideration.
If you're interested in taking part, please register your interest by calling us 01403 331800 or sending an email.
We will contact you once we reached the required number of registrations.
