The MSU Veterinary Medical Center conducts clinical research in order to find safer or more effective methods to screen for, prevent, diagnose, or treat a variety of diseases in cats, dogs, horses and other animals. Many of these trials also have implications for human medicine.
For Animal Owners
Clinical trials often require patients to meet certain requirements in order for the trial to effectively pinpoint its research investigations. Some trials offer subsidies or funding for care, and each is carefully designed and reviewed for safety. If there is not a trial currently under way for which your animal qualifies, be sure to check back. New studies begin frequently. Please ask your veterinarian to contact MSU for further information about any of the studies listed here.
