From the two clinical field studies, the overall success rates based
on CBPI (Canine
Brief Pain Inventory, as completed by the owner) at 28 days after the
start of the
treatment, were 51.3% (120/235) for Galliprant and 35.5% (82/231) for
the placebo
group. This difference in favour of Galliprant was statistically
significant
(p-value= 0.0008).
A clinical response to treatment is usually seen within 7 days. If no

improvement is apparent after 14 days, treatment with Galliprant

discontinued and different treatment options should be explored in
consultation with
