Robust project documentation and management
Successful project delivery relies on comprehensive project documentation, managed by skilled project personnel. At ICON, we maintain an extensive library of SOPs and procedures governing our pharmacovigilance services to ensure thorough staff training and high-quality standards.
Each client is assigned a functional lead who oversees all activities and ensures that deliverables consistently meet defined Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
Global and local literature monitoring
With over 15 years of experience in specialised literature search services, ICON offers robust expertise in conducting searches through platforms like PubMed and Embase. We provide both routine weekly monitoring and comprehensive reviews for periodic report generation and signal management.
Our expert literature team also conducts local literature surveillance in compliance with regional regulations and meticulously reviews results from the European Medicines Agency’s medical literature monitoring (MLM) program.

ICON delivers tailored solutions to support our clients at every stage of the product lifecycle, from early development through to commercialisation.
Our comprehensive case processing capabilities include receipt, data entry, narrative writing, coding, quality control, medical review, query management, and safety submissions. Since 2021, we have successfully processed over 700,000 cases, demonstrating our commitment to high-quality, efficient safety management.

Using the Oracle ARGUS safety database, we configure a dedicated schema tailored to each client’s needs. The system is fully compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 regulations and supports the generation of all standard regulatory and periodic reports.
In addition, we offer extensive expertise in database migrations, having successfully taken over ongoing studies from other CROs and seamlessly transferred legacy databases containing over 5,000 cases.
