Strategic site & patient obesity solutions

Accelerating obesity research with speed, scale & pre-identified patients

At ICON, we understand the complexities of obesity research — from regulatory pressure to enrolment challenges. The ICON Centre for Obesity is purpose-built to deliver faster, smarter, and more efficient trials, reducing operational risk while maximising patient access.

  • 100 sites

    ready-to-go

  • 10k patients

    pre-screened database in development

  • 85% sites

    operate on the same integrated technology platform

Broad access to the right patients

ICON’s obesity network spans 100 sites covering 75% of the US population and key international regions. With an in-development database of 10,000 pre-screened patients across the breadth of comorbidities, we connect you to your target patient population faster.

 

Rapid site startup & activation

We accelerate timelines with a turnkey approach:

  • Master agreements in place
  • Pre-collected regulatory documentation
  • Obesity-specific site training
  • Established imaging partnerships

  • 30 days or less

    This infrastructure enables site activation in 30 days or less, reducing trial startup risk and keeping your program on track.

Focused recruitment, real-time adaptability

Our recruitment strategy targets a wide range of obesity-related risk factors and comorbidities. We adapt to evolving study needs in real time to optimise enrolment — helping you avoid delays and ensure representative participation across all trial phases.

Integrated technology that drives efficiency

85% of our sites operate on the same CTMS/eSource, enabling:

  • More efficient, interoperable processes in study recruitment and enrolment
  • Real-time monitoring
  • Remote data capture
  • Fewer site errors
  • Lower operational and travel costs

Our tech-enabled model enhances oversight, improves data quality, and supports rapid decision-making across your study.

Benefits for study sites:

Access to pre-screened patient pool to reduce recruitment time 

Exclusivity in local metro areas and access to multiple obesity studies

Participate in multiple studies under one CDA and contract for greater efficiency and lower burden

Achieve site initiation visit readiness within 30 days with pre-completed core training and system registration

Innovative technology solutions to streamline patient lead conversion, reduce manual entry, and enhance data quality with centrally built eSource tools

Partner with ICON to accelerate your obesity research program

Whether you’re advancing early-phase research or scaling a global registration trial, ICON provides you with the infrastructure, insight, and innovation to move with confidence — from first patient in, to final data submission.
