Main research areas of the site

Cardiovascular Diseases

At Sahlgrenska University Hospital the Kardiologen department conducts trials aimed at improving outcomes for patients with cardiovascular disease, including heart failure, hypertension, and atrial fibrillation. The studies evaluate new drug combinations, device therapies, and lifestyle interventions to reduce mortality and hospitalizations.

  • Acute cardiac arrest resuscitation strategies
  • Transthyretin‑mediated amyloid cardiomyopathy

Overall, 38 trials involve 171 investigators, reflecting a strong focus on cardiovascular innovation at the site.

Congenital, Hereditary, and Neonatal Disorders

Research in this area explores genetic and developmental conditions affecting newborns and children, such as congenital heart disease and hereditary metabolic disorders. Trials assess gene‑modified T‑cell therapy and early‑intervention strategies to improve long‑term health.

  • Gene‑modified T‑cell therapy follow‑up
  • Congenital heart disease surgical outcomes
  • Neonatal metabolic screening programs
  • Inherited bleeding disorders
  • Pediatric immunodeficiency treatments

The department collaborates with national registries to ensure comprehensive data collection for rare pediatric conditions.

Digestive System Diseases

Studies target chronic intestinal disorders, focusing on improving disease control and quality of life. Investigators evaluate novel biologics and small molecules for Crohn’s disease and primary sclerosing cholangitis.

  • Crohn’s disease with ileostomy
  • Primary sclerosing cholangitis
  • Inflammatory bowel disease biologic optimization
  • Gut microbiome modulation
  • Nutritional therapy in ulcerative colitis

These trials often incorporate patient‑reported outcomes to capture symptom relief.

Hemic and Lymphatic Diseases

The site conducts research on blood and lymphatic disorders, including cancers and clotting abnormalities. Projects examine targeted therapies for B‑cell malignancies and novel agents for haemophilia A.

  • Relapsed/refractory B‑cell non‑Hodgkin lymphoma
  • Multiple myeloma combination therapy
  • Hemophilia A prophylaxis
  • Myelodysplastic syndrome risk stratification
  • Thrombosis prevention in cancer patients

Collaboration with hematology specialists supports rapid translation of laboratory findings to the clinic.

Immune System Diseases

Clinical investigations address autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, testing agents that modulate immune pathways. Research includes therapies for autoimmune haemolytic anaemia and severe inflammatory myopathies.

  • Warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia treatment
  • Severe refractory idiopathic inflammatory myopathies
  • BTK inhibition in multiple sclerosis
  • Immune checkpoint inhibition in solid tumors
  • Vaccination efficacy against herpes zoster

The multidisciplinary team integrates rheumatology and immunology expertise to broaden therapeutic options.

Male Urogenital Diseases

Trials in this field focus on prostate cancer management and related urological conditions. Studies assess hormonal therapies, novel radiotherapy combinations, and genetic risk‑based interventions for prostate cancer.

  • Metastatic castration‑sensitive prostate cancer
  • Metastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer
  • High‑risk localized prostate cancer with BRCA mutation
  • Androgen deprivation therapy optimization
  • Biomarker‑driven treatment selection

Patient enrollment benefits from the hospital’s extensive urology network.

Musculoskeletal Diseases

Research aims to restore joint function and reduce pain in degenerative conditions. Innovative tissue‑engineered implants and pharmacologic agents are evaluated for patellofemoral osteoarthritis and related disorders.

  • Patellofemoral osteoarthritis cartilage implantation
  • Knee joint regenerative therapies
  • Muscle wasting in chronic disease
  • Bone health in endocrine disorders
  • Physical rehabilitation protocols

Outcomes include imaging, functional scores, and patient satisfaction metrics.

Neoplasms (Cancer)

A broad oncology portfolio tackles solid tumors and hematologic malignancies, testing targeted agents, immunotherapies, and combination regimens. The goal is to improve survival and disease control across cancer types, including HER2‑positive breast cancer and KRAS G12C mutant non‑small cell lung cancer.

  • HER2‑positive breast cancer neoadjuvant therapy
  • KRAS G12C mutant non‑small cell lung cancer
  • Advanced colorectal cancer with chemotherapy
  • Neuroendocrine carcinoma trials
  • Melanoma and checkpoint inhibitor studies

The site’s oncology unit contributes to international multicenter trials, enhancing access to cutting‑edge treatments.

Nervous System Diseases

Neurological research includes neurodegenerative and demyelinating disorders, focusing on disease‑modifying therapies. Trials investigate BTK inhibitors for multiple sclerosis and novel agents for glioblastoma.

  • Primary progressive multiple sclerosis BTK inhibition
  • Non‑relapsing secondary progressive multiple sclerosis
  • Glioblastoma multimodal therapy
  • Brain tumor radiotherapy enhancement
  • Neurocognitive outcomes in MS

Advanced imaging and biomarker analysis support precise assessment of treatment impact.

Respiratory Tract Diseases

Investigations target chronic lung conditions and lung cancer, evaluating inhaled therapies, systemic agents, and supportive care strategies. The aim is to reduce exacerbations in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and improve survival in small cell lung cancer.

  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation reduction
  • Small cell lung cancer combination therapy
  • Non‑small cell lung cancer with KRAS mutation
  • Asthma control with biologics
  • Pulmonary rehabilitation outcomes

Pulmonary specialists collaborate closely with oncology to manage overlapping disease processes.

Virus Diseases

Viral disease studies focus on prevention and treatment, including vaccine efficacy and antiviral therapies. A notable trial assesses a shingles vaccine in older adults, measuring effectiveness against herpes zoster.

  • Herpes zoster vaccine effectiveness
  • Antiviral therapy for respiratory viruses
  • COVID‑19 long‑term sequelae monitoring
  • Viral hepatitis treatment optimization
  • Vaccination strategies in immunocompromised patients

The hospital’s infectious disease unit provides comprehensive follow‑up for vaccine safety.

Behavioral Disciplines and Activities

Research explores lifestyle and behavioral interventions that influence health outcomes, such as physical activity programs and dietary counseling for cardiovascular risk reduction.

  • Exercise training in heart failure
  • Dietary sodium restriction in hypertension
  • Stress management in bipolar depression
  • Cognitive behavioral therapy for chronic pain
  • Patient education for medication adherence

Interdisciplinary teams incorporate psychologists, physiotherapists, and nutritionists.

Mental Disorders

Clinical trials address mood and psychotic disorders, testing novel pharmacologic agents and adjunctive therapies to improve symptom control and functional recovery. Studies evaluate new treatments for bipolar depression and augmentation strategies for resistant depression.

  • Bipolar depression with novel agent OSU6162
  • SSRI‑resistant depression augmentation
  • Depression outcome measures in cardiovascular patients
  • Anxiety reduction in chronic disease
  • Safety of new antipsychotics in elderly

Psychiatric expertise ensures rigorous monitoring of mental health endpoints.
