Jaguar Animal Health Completes Enrollment for Proof-of-Concept Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of an Investigational New Animal Drug Candidate for the Treatment of Gastrointestinal Ulcers in Horses
Top-line results from this prospective, masked, randomized, negative
controlled study are expected to be available this coming February.
Strict enrollment criteria required patients to have both squamous and
glandular gastric ulcerations. As Jaguar stated on
