SAPHO syndrome and inflammatory bone disease
Clinical research includes SAPHO syndrome, with attention to the interplay of synovitis, osteitis, hyperostosis, and skin involvement such as pustulosis and acne. The trial portfolio reflects interest in chronic musculoskeletal pain, joint inflammation, and structural bone changes affecting daily function.
- Inflammatory arthritis
- Osteitis and bone destruction
- Axial spondyloarthritis
Research activity in this area is focused on rheumatologic disease with cutaneous and skeletal manifestations.
Post-COVID syndrome and persistent fatigue
The sponsor is involved in studies of chronic fatigue syndrome associated with post-COVID syndrome, with emphasis on prolonged fatigue, reduced exercise tolerance, and impaired physical and cognitive recovery. This area connects rehabilitation-oriented care with symptom management in people experiencing long-term consequences after infection.
- Fatigue management
- Rehabilitation medicine
- Post-viral functional impairment
Interest extends to restoring activity and improving everyday functioning in long COVID populations.
Systemic sclerosis with interstitial lung disease
Research activity covers systemic sclerosis complicated by interstitial lung disease, a domain combining autoimmune connective tissue disease with progressive pulmonary involvement. The clinical focus includes respiratory impairment, fibrotic disease processes, and multisystem manifestations requiring coordinated rheumatology and pulmonary care.
- Connective tissue disease
- Fibrotic lung disease
- Autoimmune pulmonary involvement
This area reflects sustained interest in complex systemic autoimmune disease with lung complications.
Systemic lupus erythematosus
Clinical studies include systemic lupus erythematosus with moderate to severe disease activity, highlighting immune-mediated inflammation across multiple organ systems. The sponsor’s portfolio in this field addresses active rheumatic disease requiring careful control of symptoms and disease burden.
- Autoimmune disease activity
- Multisystem inflammation
- Rheumatology
Research in SLE supports clinical interest in treatment of relapsing and persistent autoimmune manifestations.
Sarcopenia and age-related functional decline
The sponsor also studies sarcopenia, focusing on loss of muscle mass and strength in older adults and its impact on mobility, independence, and quality of life. This area aligns with geriatric medicine and rehabilitation, particularly in relation to frailty, falls, and reduced physical performance.
- Muscle wasting
- Frailty in older adults
- Functional rehabilitation
Research interest centers on age-related decline and preservation of physical function in later life.
