Aratana Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: PETX), a pet therapeutics company focused on the licensing, development and commercialization of innovative biopharmaceutical products for companion animals, today announced the Food and Drug Administration's Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) approved GALLIPRANT(R) (grapiprant tablets) for the control of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis in dogs. Galliprant is expected to be available to veterinarians in fall 2016.
"As the first approved product in the new piprant class, Galliprant offers veterinarians a needed therapeutic option for the millions of dogs treated each year for osteoarthritis," explains Steven St. Peter, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Aratana Therapeutics. "Clinical studies have shown Galliprant offers proven efficacy when compared to placebo and is well-tolerated in dogs."
Galliprant is a prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) EP4 receptor antagonist (PRA), a non-cyclooxygenase inhibiting, non-steroidal and anti-inflammatory drug. Galliprant blocks PGE2-elicited pain and inflammation.
Important Safety Information GALLIPRANT(R) (grapiprant tablets) is for use in dogs only. Do not use in dogs younger than 9 months of age and less than 8 lbs (3.6 kg), dogs used for breeding, or in pregnant or lactating dogs. Adverse reactions in dogs may include mild gastrointestinal effects including, vomiting, diarrhea and decreased appetite. Should not be used in dogs that have a hypersensitivity to grapiprant. Avoid use with COX-inhibiting NSAIDs or corticosteroids.
