Zoetis receives Lenivia EC marketing authorization for osteoarthritis in dogs

Zoetis (ZTS) “announced that the European Commission has granted the company marketing authorization for Lenivia (izenivetmab) for the reduction of pain associated with osteoarthritis in dogs. Lenivia is a new antibody therapy that reduces OA pain in dogs for three months with one injection through its novel binding properties to nerve growth factor (NGF), recognized as an important mediator of pain and inflammation. Lenivia is built on a decade of science and research, with a safety profile demonstrated in a nine-month field study where dogs receiving Lenivia experienced increased mobility and decreased pain after one injection.”
