We are helping to develop a drug for this disease and are looking for dogs to participate in a simple study. > > *The study has been initiated and we have several spots still available for participation.* > > Trial Specifics > > The trial involves only one veterinary visit that is funded by the trial. The rest of the trial activities occur at home. The trial will involve administration of 2 oral treatments, in tablet form, over the course of 1 day (also called “one dosing period”). During this time, urine samples will be collected. The samples will then be sent in one shipment to a laboratory. Shipping and sample collection materials are provided by the trial. This process will be replicated a total of four times (four dosing periods). The therapies involved are not expected to cause dogs any pain or distress, and the study can be conducted at home, and on a schedule that is convenient for you. Successful completion of the first two dosing periods will result in a $500 honorarium. Completion of the second two will result in an additional $250 honorarium, for a total of $750. It is hoped that these and other studies will result in an FDA approved therapy for dogs with cystinuria. More details will be disclosed under a confidentiality agreement. > > Trial Eligibility > > Dogs must weigh at least 20kg (45lb). Dogs must be diagnosed with cystinuria, but otherwise healthy. A short visit to any veterinarian to get your dog’s weight and confirm general good health will be required. Trial medications must be given in a way that ensures they are swallowed. The use of a Pill Pocket, or the like, is recommended. > > Locations > > Any US veterinarian for a pre-trial checkup as long as the veterinarian is willing to participate. > > Anyone interested to learn more can contact Marissa Farbo at mfarbo@animalci.com at their earliest convenience. > > > > > > Would you please forward this email to your general membership or to specific owners of dogs with cystinuria? > > Thank you very much. > > Your friends at ACI > > (http://www.animalci.com) > > > > -- > > > > > > > Marissa Farbo • Study Monitor and Clinical Research Associate > 4445 Willard Ave, Sixth Floor • Chevy Chase, MD, 20815 > cell: 774.272.0493 > www.animalci.com > > ACI has moved!
