Early Phase Patient Studies

Customised solutions to obtain reliable proof of concept data

ICON understands the importance and urgency of early phase patient studies to enable go/no-go decisions quickly.

ICON understands the importance and urgency of early phase patient studies to enable go/no-go decisions quickly. Early phase patient trials have a specific set of criteria that can be complex to set up and manage. These include the following:

Agile study designs: Experience in multi-stage dose escalation studies and adaptive umbrella protocols

Ability to manage complexity: Set up and management of multiple sites for effective patient recruitment

Patient access: Confinement in experienced phase 1 clinics for safety monitoring, intensive procedures and PK sampling

Urgent timelines: Fast data readouts to enable rapid decision making regarding the development of your compound

 

ICON has a dedicated panel of global early phase project delivery experts who are focused on delivering end-to-end patient studies. They utilise a range of dedicated early phase resources including clinical pharmacology, site alliance, bioanalytical laboratories, biometrics, therapeutic and drug development expertise to develop customised approaches to help clients achieve their key drug development milestones.

Our flexible operating strategy endorses the right site – right patient model, and is tailored for small, early phase patient studies (I-IIA/Proof- of- Concept). With key partnerships and specialised expertise, we can help to mitigate risk and get insight into drug profiles, including safety signals required for decision-making. To access the right patients, we can utilise our phase I clinical research units, a selective network of trusted partner sites, or other 3rd party sites if they are better suited. This flexibility allows us to customise our strategy for every study to optimise results.
