Veterinary clinical trials at the OVC Health Sciences Centre are research studies used to facilitate the improvement of healthcare in animals. They allow clinician-scientists to evaluate the effectiveness of different interventions such as medical devices, vaccines, diagnostic tests, surgical procedures, and treatments to inform the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of disease.
While some clinical trials are designed specifically to improve veterinary health, translational clinical trials are designed as an intermediate step to inform the design of human clinical trials. OVC is a hub for translational research in Canada and is well positioned to translate findings from the "bench to bedside."
