The clinical pharmacology team at ICON has extensive experience in the design, implementation and interpretation of clinical pharmacology studies in all major therapeutic areas.
Design
Preclinical consultancy services to determine potential surrogate markers and models; validation of surrogate markers and models; development of flexible protocol design.
We offer clear thinking to help make critical development decisions quickly.
Implementation
Once the correct study design has been agreed there is rapid transfer and start up of the clinical phase. We undertake First in Man (FIM) studies, on average taking one new chemical entity into man every month.
ICON has experience implementing:
- First-in-Human, dose escalation studies
- Drug interaction studies
- Special population studies (pediatric PK, elderly, renal-impaired, hepatic-impaired)
- Thorough QTc studies
- Dose proportionality
- Multi-dose PK and/or PKPD
- Age/Gender/Race
- Food effect studies
- Relative bioavailability (including formulation bioequivalence)
- Absolute bioavailability
- Dosage regimen assessments
- Pharmacodynamic studies
- Interpretation
