Our Research

Our research activities have a clear objective: to conduct and facilitate excellent clinical cancer research at the international level in order to improve the treatment and quality of life of cancer patients.

Our Service

Through our Comprehensive Research Organization service (CRO), our work covers all areas of clinical cancer research at the highest level.

What Sets Us Apart

Our team of physicians, who have years of expertise and current knowledge in medical care, are specialized in the fields of hematology, oncology, surgical oncology, palliative medicine, supportive therapy, and human genetics. Our founders are oncologists, and this expertise is a hallmark of IKF.

With well-established networks of almost hundreds of medical institutions, the best experts in their respective fields for every disease type, and the largest academic study groups in Germany and Europe, IKF has a powerful network that sets us apart.

IKF provides well-established access to routine clinical oncology environments through long-term collaborations with university hospitals, other large hospitals, and private oncology practitioners.

Our interactive and comprehensive molecular profiling network, PLATON, provides a unique opportunity to screen a sufficient number of patients with distinct genetic alterations/mutations for biomarker-based clinical trials.

Our “product” is the gain of scientific knowledge

Excellence in Research

Our research activities have a clear objective: to conduct and facilitate excellent clinical cancer research at the international level in order to improve the treatment and quality of life of cancer patients. As we are not a pharmaceutical company, our real “product” is the gain of scientific knowledge, which we achieve through clinical trials with our partners that focus on patient-relevant endpoints such as survival and quality of life.”

Our trials have gained worldwide recognition for their significant impact on the field of cancer care

Investigator-initiated (non-pharma-sponsored) research

Sponsored by our institution and conducted on an international scale, our investigator-initiated trials result from collaborative efforts between our internal experts and external partners, including esteemed physicians and oncologists from various university hospitals.

We aim to accelerate the translation of research findings into tangible benefits for patients

Translational Research and IKF BioDataBank

We recognize the vital role of translational research in our study designs. We are dedicated to advancing our understanding of cancer pathogenesis and development, and to achieve this, we integrate translational elements into our research.

PRECISION ONCOLOGY

We aim at improving personalized cancer therapy with our academic partners by establishing large networks and registries for molecular profiling. Our interactive PLATON Network (Platform for Analyzing Targetable Mutations) brings together comprehensive molecular profiling, extensive clinical data of cancer patients, QoL, education, and clinical trial information to advance cancer research and treatment.

Real-world studies

In addition to clinical trials, we conduct real-world studies in diverse healthcare settings. These studies provide valuable insights into the practical application of treatments, their effectiveness in routine care, and patient outcomes in real-world scenarios. By conducting research in real-life settings, we aim to bridge the gap between controlled clinical environments and the complexities of everyday clinical practice.

Networks & Partners

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together (African proverb)

IKF has successfully built strong partnerships with multiple esteemed academic research groups, university hospitals, and community oncologists. This collective approach allows us to provide a broad spectrum of oncology expertise, while also ensuring access to comprehensive patient care, innovative research technologies, and rigorous methodologies. In collaboration with our partners, we are fully dedicated to advancing clinical research and enhancing patient outcomes.

The PLATON Network

The PLATON Network (PLATON) is an interactive framework designed to connect oncologists across various hospitals and countries, facilitating comprehensive collaboration in clinical trials and personalized medicine. It achieves this through an integration of comprehensive molecular profiling, ongoing clinical trials, digital data access, and networking solutions, alongside associated educational and discussion structures.
