Breast cancer imaging and diagnosis
Clinical research at Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria Policlinico Umberto I includes work on the diagnostic assessment of suspicious breast lesions, with interest in improving lesion characterization and detection in patients referred for further evaluation.
- Contrast-enhanced mammography
- BIRADS 4 and 5 breast lesions
- Breast cancer detection
The sponsor’s activity in this area is centered on imaging-based identification of malignant disease within a hospital setting in Rome.
Systemic sclerosis and autoimmune disease
The sponsor also funds research in systemic sclerosis, a rare autoimmune disease marked by vascular, immunological, and fibrotic involvement, reflecting a therapeutic focus on early disease management and symptom control.
- Early systemic sclerosis
- Autoimmune connective tissue disease
- Fibrotic and vascular complications
This area of interest aligns with specialist care for complex rheumatologic conditions requiring coordinated clinical evaluation.
Immunomodulatory therapy
Research activity includes treatment-oriented investigation of immunomodulatory therapy in systemic sclerosis, with attention to agents used alongside established immunosuppressive and vasoactive therapies.
- Hydroxychloroquine
- Placebo-controlled treatment evaluation
- Standard systemic sclerosis therapy
The therapeutic emphasis is on early-stage disease intervention within a multidisciplinary hospital environment.
