Cardiovascular medicine
Research activity includes acute myocardial infarction, ST-elevation myocardial infarction, left ventricular thrombosis, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, with additional interest in reducing recurrent cardiovascular risk and managing arterial hypertension in complex cardiac disease.
- Thrombus resolution after myocardial infarction
- Cardiovascular risk factor management
- Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy
The sponsor also supports studies in ischemic stroke linked to large artery occlusion and carotid disease, reflecting a broader interest in vascular and cerebrovascular care.
Diabetes and metabolic disorders
Clinical research spans type 1 diabetes mellitus, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and glucose regulation in people at risk of postoperative complications or treatment-related dysglycaemia. The portfolio also includes work on preserving beta-cell function and improving glycaemic control.
- Type 1 diabetes and beta-cell preservation
- Glucose monitoring and hypoglycaemia recovery
- Corticosteroid-related hyperglycaemia
Additional studies address critical illness with severe vitamin D deficiency, linking metabolic care with intensive care medicine.
Ophthalmology
Ophthalmic trials focus on neovascular age-related macular degeneration, including treatment durability and disease control with anti-angiogenic therapy. This area also includes patients undergoing vitrectomy and cataract surgery.
- Neovascular age-related macular degeneration
- Durability of retinal anti-VEGF therapy
- Perioperative ophthalmic care
The sponsor’s ophthalmology portfolio reflects sustained interest in retinal disease management and visual outcomes in degenerative eye conditions.
Critical care, infectious disease, and respiratory medicine
Research covers adult critically ill patients with severe vitamin D deficiency, invasive candidiasis, and respiratory support in preterm neonates with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome. Studies also involve patients receiving ECMO and other extracorporeal treatments.
- Invasive fungal infection in critical care
- Neonatal respiratory support
- Vitamin D deficiency in intensive care
These topics indicate active involvement in severe infection, respiratory stabilization, and complex intensive care settings.
Surgery, wound healing, and immune-mediated disease
The sponsor funds studies in chronic wounds, oral implant surgery with guided bone regeneration and sinus floor elevation, and prevention of postoperative complications after general surgery and urology surgery. It also supports work in ANCA-associated vasculitides and rapid-progressive glomerulonephritides.
- Wound microbiome and chronic wound care
- Perioperative infection prevention
- Autoimmune vasculitis and renal inflammation
Additional research includes perioperative pain and anxiety management, alongside studies of postoperative oxygen support and recovery after surgery.
