Veterinary Clinical Investigations Center<br />

Pfizer has lent support to the Department <strong>of</strong> Clinical<br />

Studies at the Ryan Veterinary Hospital to help start the<br />

Veterinary Clinical Investigations Center (VCIC), where<br />

clinical trials are conducted to investigate new methods <strong>of</strong><br />

prevention, diagnosis and/or treatment <strong>of</strong> disease.<br />

<strong>Many</strong> naturally occurring diseases in pet animals closely<br />

resemble human diseases and provide meaningful results<br />

that may benefit both people and animals. Clinical trials<br />

are extremely important in improving treatment options<br />

available. <strong>Many</strong> effective treatments are available today<br />

because <strong>of</strong> both laboratory research and patient participation<br />

in clinical trials. Clinical trials are very rewarding<br />

for the pet, its family, the veterinary investigator and—<br />

perhaps most importantly—future patients with the same<br />

condition.<br />

Recent clinical trials at the VCIC have included studies in<br />

oncology, pain management and benign prostatic<br />

hyperplasia. For more information, call (215) 573-0302.<br />
