Can anyone shed some light on this:
"A mid-study analysis in mid-February 2015 indicated that pimobendan is clearly beneficial and did not raise any concern over the administration of pimobendan. Based on these results, the interim analysis committee recommended that the study be stopped, and the study was ended earlier this month."
From what I understand, the EPIC study looked to study the effects of vetmedin on dogs not yet in CHF. Am I to understand that they just decided everything was okey dokey and summarily terminated the study?
Edited to add: my vet spoke to a cardiologist, who felt Buddy wasn’t in CHF, but nonetheless wasn’t concerned about Buddy taking vetmedin. He said it was the least concerning of the meds he was on (referring to benzapril). Say what?
