Headache and migraine disorders

Research activity includes chronic cluster headache, episodic cluster headache, chronic migraine, and episodic migraine, with interest in preventive and symptom-targeted treatment approaches.

  • Cluster headache
  • Migraine prophylaxis
  • Neurovascular pain disorders

The portfolio also reflects work on treatment-resistant headache syndromes and intervention strategies aimed at reducing attack frequency and disability.

Endocrinology and diabetes

Clinical research spans type 1 diabetes and diabetes mellitus type 1, with emphasis on insulin handling, glucose control, and metabolic support strategies.

  • Insulin absorption
  • Glucagon-based adjunct therapy
  • Postprandial glucose regulation

Additional interest extends to improving physiological insulin delivery and optimizing metabolic responses in people with insulin-dependent diabetes.

Oncology and hematologic malignancies

The sponsor is involved in studies of chronic myeloid leukemia, testicular cancer, and metastatic colorectal cancer, including research linked to treatment selection and disease control.

  • Leukemia therapy
  • Germ cell tumor management
  • Colorectal cancer precision oncology

There is also interest in patient-derived tumouroids and other approaches connected to individualized cancer treatment planning.

Neurology, pituitary disease, and dependence

Research includes non-functioning pituitary adenoma and benzodiazepine dependence, alongside studies relevant to withdrawal symptom management and endocrine-neurologic overlap.

  • Pituitary adenoma
  • Benzodiazepine withdrawal
  • Neuroendocrine disorders

The clinical portfolio also touches on therapeutic use of agents affecting central nervous system symptoms and hormone-related tumor behavior.

Respiratory and surgical care

Additional studies address acute wheezing and bronchiolitis in children, as well as postoperative bleeding prevention in plastic surgical procedures.

  • Pediatric wheezing disorders
  • Bronchiolitis
  • Postoperative hemostasis

This area also includes interest in reducing respiratory recurrence after viral wheeze and improving wound-related surgical outcomes.
