Cardiovascular medicine
Clinical research at Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria Maggiore Della Carita includes acute myocardial infarction, ST-elevation myocardial infarction, non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction, and unstable angina. The sponsor also studies primary percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary plaque inflammation, with attention to platelet reactivity, heart failure, and myocardial injury.
- Acute coronary syndromes
- Myocardial infarction
- Coronary intervention
- Antiplatelet therapy
Research activity in this area reflects a focus on cardiometabolic risk and treatment strategies relevant to hospitalized patients with acute ischemic heart disease.
Metabolic and inflammatory disease
The sponsor funds studies in diabetes mellitus and the use of SGLT-2 inhibitors, alongside investigations into inflammatory pathways linked to cardiovascular disease. Its portfolio also includes work on oral semaglutide and anti-inflammatory effects within coronary disease settings.
- Diabetes mellitus
- SGLT-2 inhibition
- GLP-1 receptor agonism
- Inflammation in atherosclerosis
These studies connect metabolic control with vascular protection and the modulation of inflammatory burden in patients with cardiovascular comorbidity.
Neurodegenerative disorders
Research also covers Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, with interest in symptom management and quality of life in people living with progressive neurodegenerative diseases. The sponsor’s work includes evaluation of cannabis-based therapy in this patient population.
- Alzheimer’s disease
- Parkinson’s disease
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
- Cannabinoid-based treatment
This area emphasizes neurological symptom burden, functional well-being, and treatment tolerability in chronic central nervous system disorders.
Infectious disease and critical illness
Another major area of interest is acute care for pneumonia and sepsis, including infections in elderly patients and cases associated with presumed infectious causes. The sponsor studies approaches aimed at inflammation, hospital recovery, and mortality risk in seriously ill patients.
- Pneumonia
- Sepsis
- Inflammatory markers
- Hospitalized older adults
Work in this domain reflects interest in supportive treatment for acute infectious syndromes and the clinical course of fragile inpatients.
