ikfe clinic – clinical studies on the highest scientific level

Our expertise in internal medicine is focused on diabetes mellitus, endocrinology and cardiovascular disease, where basic research in therapy and diagnostics is still predominantly performed within the universities. But, the objectives of clinical research often require access to patient groups that may not frequent these highly specialized sites. In daily practice these patients are usually treated by general practitioners.

ikfe offers fast and effective recruitment of volunteers and patients by cooperating with university hospitals, but, also in close collaboration with more than 150 family docters (Aktives Mainzer Studiennetzwerk).

Through this extensive network, we have access to a large pool of patients (more than 150.000) that can be specifically selected for a given trial.

Since ikfe works exclusively according to international quality standards, we are able to guarantee for a timely performance of clinical projects with the highest quality standards.
