Oncology and Haematology
Martin-Luther-Universitaet Halle-Wittenberg supports clinical research in progressive well-differentiated metastatic neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas and myeloproliferative neoplasm in accelerated phase, with an emphasis on treatment response, disease control, and haematologic disease management.
- Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors
- Myelofibrosis and accelerated-phase disease
- Combination therapy in haematologic malignancy
The sponsor’s funded studies include both solid-tumour and blood-disorder settings, reflecting interest in advanced cancer care and therapies for difficult-to-treat proliferative disorders.
Ophthalmology
Clinical research activity includes diabetic macular edema, with focus on visual acuity outcomes and retinal vascular integrity in patients receiving treatment for sight-threatening macular disease.
- Diabetic macular edema
- Visual acuity improvement
- Retinal vascular integrity
This area of interest centres on preserving and improving vision in chronic retinal disease.
Neurosurgery and Otology
The sponsor funds studies in vestibular schwannoma and postoperative hearing preservation, addressing neurological and auditory outcomes after tumour surgery.
- Acoustic schwannoma
- Hearing preservation after surgery
- Vestibular schwannoma management
Research in this field links neurosurgical care with protection of cranial nerve function and postoperative quality of life.
Perioperative Blood Management
Trials include major abdominal surgery settings such as esophagectomy, gastrectomy, colectomy, rectal resection, pancreatic resection, and hepatectomy, with attention to bleeding control and transfusion needs.
- Tranexamic acid in surgical care
- Intraoperative haemorrhage
- Red blood cell transfusion requirements
The research focus is on reducing blood loss across complex operative procedures in gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary surgery.
Reproductive Medicine
The sponsor is also involved in male infertility research, including treatment for reduced sperm concentration and hormonal profiles associated with impaired fertility.
- Oligozoospermia
- Sperm concentration
- Hormonal treatment in male infertility
This area reflects interest in andrology and the clinical management of subfertility in men.
