Oncology and Cancer Supportive Care

Research activity includes advanced breast cancer, renal cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, and metastatic cancer, with attention to treatment response, disease progression, and supportive interventions during cancer therapy.

  • Androgen deprivation therapy in prostate cancer
  • Metastatic breast, ovarian, prostate, and kidney cancer
  • Exercise-based oncology support
  • Statin-related cancer care

The sponsor also supports clinical questions in treatment tolerance and functional recovery alongside cancer-directed care.

Orthopaedic and Hand Surgery

Trials address Dupuytren’s contracture and related hand function outcomes, as well as recovery after surgical treatment, with interest in long-term clinical benefit and cost-effectiveness.

  • Dupuytren’s contracture management
  • Fasciectomy and collagenase-based treatment pathways
  • Hand mobility and functional recovery

Clinical research in this area focuses on comparative effectiveness across operative and non-operative approaches.

Perioperative Anaesthesia and Pain Management

Studies examine regional anaesthesia and postoperative pain control in inguinal hernia surgery, colorectal surgery, and other operative settings, with attention to recovery quality and analgesic needs.

  • Quadratus lumborum block
  • Transversus abdominis plane block
  • Rectus sheath block
  • Neuromuscular blockade monitoring

Interest also extends to postoperative analgesia after colon resection and open hernia repair.

Infectious Diseases and Antibiotic Therapy

Research includes diabetic foot osteomyelitis, paediatric infections, and prolonged antibiotic treatment, with evaluation of local and systemic antimicrobial strategies.

  • Diabetic foot osteomyelitis
  • Continuous antibiotic infusion
  • Paediatric cough with suspected infectious causes
  • Microbiota and treatment response

The sponsor also studies infection-related outcomes in children and the role of antimicrobial delivery methods in musculoskeletal infection.

Neurology, Gastroenterology, and Respiratory Medicine

Additional trials cover cervical dystonia with abnormal muscle activity, ulcerative colitis, and protracted cough in children, reflecting a broad clinical interest in chronic symptom management.

  • Cervical dystonia
  • Ulcerative colitis
  • Chronic cough in children
  • Commensal microbiota in inflammatory bowel disease

These studies include both symptom-focused care and disease-specific therapeutic evaluation across neurological, intestinal, and respiratory conditions.
