Cardiovascular Diseases

At Gesundheitsverbund Landkreis Konstanz gGmbH, clinical research in cardiovascular diseases focuses on reducing major heart and blood vessel complications, improving stroke prevention, and strengthening lipid management for people at elevated risk.

  • Adults at high risk of cardiovascular events
  • Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease
  • Atrial fibrillation with prevention of stroke or systemic embolism
  • Hypercholesterolemia and elevated LDL cholesterol
  • Testing new therapies and comparing treatment effectiveness for cardiovascular protection

These studies include approaches aimed at lowering cardiovascular risk, improving long-term outcomes, and evaluating safer or more effective ways to manage heart disease and related complications.

Nutritional and Metabolic Diseases

The site also supports trials in nutritional and metabolic diseases, especially type 2 diabetes, obesity, and overweight, with a strong emphasis on better blood sugar control and broader cardiometabolic health.

  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Obesity and overweight
  • Improving glycaemic control in real-world care
  • Testing new glucose-lowering and cardiometabolic treatment strategies
  • Studying patients with combined diabetes, blood pressure, and cardiovascular risk

Research here is designed to assess whether newer treatment options can help people achieve better metabolic control while also supporting long-term cardiovascular health.

Neoplasms

In the area of neoplasms, the clinic is involved in studies for renal cell carcinoma and colon cancer, with research centered on improving cancer treatment effectiveness and disease-free survival.

  • Renal cell carcinoma
  • Colon cancer
  • Evaluating new combinations for cancer treatment
  • Comparing treatment strategies before and after surgery
  • Supporting better long-term cancer outcomes

These oncology trials explore whether new therapeutic approaches can improve how well patients respond to treatment and reduce the chance of cancer returning.

Digestive System Diseases

Clinical trial activity in digestive system diseases is represented by studies in colon cancer, where the focus is on refining treatment planning around surgery and improving the chance of durable disease control.

  • Colon cancer staged by imaging and surgical planning
  • Assessing preoperative and postoperative treatment approaches
  • Improving cancer-free survival after treatment
  • Comparing strategies to guide more effective care
  • Research at the I. Medizinische Klinik am Hegau-Bodensee-Klinikum

These studies aim to determine the most effective way to combine surgery and systemic therapy for patients with resectable disease.
