NEWS 12 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE March 2021 Zoetis receives European Commission marketing authorization for Solensia The European Commission has granted marketing authorization for Zoetis’ Solensia® (frunevetmab), a new therapy for feline osteoarthritis pain. Solensia is the first injectable monoclonal antibody (mAb) licensed for alleviation of pain associated with osteoarthritis (OA) in cats. Z oetis Inc. announced that the European Commission has granted the marketing autho- rization for Solensia® (frunevet- mab), a new feline osteoarthri- tis treatment to alleviate pain. Osteoarthritis in cats is a very prevalent condition, existing in 40% of cats, and may generate pain and limit a cat’s comfort and quality of life if not treated. Solensia works differently from current treatment options by targeting Nerve Growth Fac- tor (NGF), a key player in osteo- arthritis (OA) pain. It functions like naturally occurring antibod- ies, with minimal involvement of the liver or kidneys in their metabolism and elimination process, and minimal gastroin- testinal impact. It is delivered by the veterinarian as a monthly in- jection (under the skin). IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE FOR CATS AND THEIR OWNERS By alleviating pain, Solensia helps generally improve physi- cal activity level, sociability and quality of life of cats with OA. This new product’s benefits are effective pain relief, combined with a positive safety profile in a monthly injectable treatment for OA pain in cats. In a clini- cal study over three months, pet owners observed signs of pain, including physical activity level, sociability and quality of life. A total of 76% of cat owners re- ported sustained improvement in signs of pain when their cats were treated with Solensia.
