Comprehensive early phase clinics with the ability to perform complex assessments in all locations
Large clinical research network delivering comprehensive early phase services in state-of-the-art facilities.
ICON’s clinics are managed, staffed, and supported by industry-leading experts who have the scientific knowledge and experience to successfully deliver even the most complex of studies. We operate state-of-the-art facilities in the Netherlands, Hungary and North America. Laboratory facilities are situated close to the clinics and configured to support all study requirements.
Each clinic has a dedicated healthy volunteer recruitment team who is dedicated to making the volunteer journey as seamless as possible. Our volunteer centric approach ensures that we always have access to recruit the right profiles to fulfil even the most complex of requirements.
From first-in-human to proof-of-concept programs, we can help take your product from concept to compound to cure.
Our facilities:
Lenexa, Kansas, USA
Our state-of-the-art clinical research center in Lenexa has 114 patient beds and an Integrated GMP manufacturing facility. We can handle all types of formulations in our temperature- and humidity-controlled setting and our co-located bioanalytical laboratory ensures rapid sample processing for critical dose-escalation, and decision-making involving pharmacokinetic assays.
Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
Our 136-bed Salt Lake City clinic is strategically located near to a trauma hospital and can fully support timely, efficient data collection while always ensuring the safety of each study participant. We also provide dedicated patient wards, private dosing rooms, and flexible space to accommodate your rigorous assessment needs.
Our meticulously designed investigative unit supports the precise execution of all early phase clinical trials. Although we’re capable of conducting studies across all therapeutic areas, we have a particular focus in CNS with neurology and psychiatry specialisation, analgesia, abuse liability, and sleep medicine.
San Antonio, Texas, USA
The San Antonio clinic is a customised site capable of meeting the ever-changing requirements for clinical trials. The site’s facilities include 120 available beds with a private bath area in each room, ICU ward with 10 beds, pharmacy and drug storage, an on-site PK laboratory, clinical laboratory and a 48-channel Mortara ECG system.
We provide expert delivery of services to safely and efficiently manage early-phase studies. This includes active volunteer databases, data collection fully aligned to FDA guidelines, electronic data capture and regulatory approvals. Clinical trial experience includes: Maximum Tolerated Dose Studies, SAD, MAD, Food Effects Pharmacokinetics / Pharmacodynamics Studies, Drug – Drug Interaction (DDI) Studies, Bioequivalence, Thorough QTc, Vaccine, Patient populations including diabetic, obese, elderly, postmenopausal, NASH and gastrointestinal disorders, adaptive design, device studies and biosimilars.
Budapest, Hungary
ICON’s CRU is located on Péterfy Hospital’s campus, one of the largest general hospitals in the city, and one of the few accredited Phase I units in Hungary. We have excellent access to healthy volunteers, patients, and hospital services, including the hospital’s intensive care unit (ICU). Our healthy volunteer capability and recruitment strategy is fully accredited by Hungarian authorities. Our medical staff have excellent working relationships with university clinics and top institutions within Hungary. We offer a 15-bed state of the art clinical pharmacology unit, and participants’ in-house stay can range from 1 day to several weeks. In addition to studies with healthy volunteers, we also specialise in oncology and oncology absorption, distribution, and excretion (AME) studies.
Groningen, the Netherlands
Our 150-bed clinical pharmacology unit in Groningen, the Netherlands is strategically located and directly connected to the Martini Hospital, including direct access to their intensive care unit. This partnership ensures we have access to the latest tools, technology, and expertise. We have extensive experience in positron emission tomography (PET), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans, cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) sampling, validated pain models, cognitive testing, spirometry, and ADME studies.
UCMG (Academic hospital Groningen)
In early 2022 ICON entered into a partnership with the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG), one of the largest academic hospitals in The Netherlands that is renowned for performing cutting-edge scientific research. This unique collaboration resulted in the construction of a combined clinical research unit on the UMCG campus.
This unit holds 13 hospital-based beds, enabling the execution of innovative study designs and clinical trials that incorporate particularly invasive or specialized assessments in healthy subjects, like continuous CSF sampling and various medical imaging techniques like (f)MRI, SPECT, CT and PET. The unit also offers the opportunity to carry out early and late phase clinical research in special moderate to severe patients who have to stay in a hospital environment.
It has been designed in accordance with good clinical practice (GCP) to accommodate the delivery of complex clinical trials through all phases of research and is fully integrated with our clinic in Groningen, using ICON supported quality and IT systems.
