Improving decision making, increasing efficiency and potentially reducing trial costs
To maximise results, sponsors need to work with an imaging partner that can provide strategic advice on biomarkers in early phase development and demonstrate how medical imaging endpoints can provide objective evidence of a drug’s safety and efficacy.
Working with ICON gives you the advantage of working with an industry leading specialist provider combined with the benefits of a global CRO. We provide advice on imaging endpoints and the critical uses of imaging for the medical, scientific and regulatory aspects of your trial for successful outcomes.
