In the latest ISR Phase 1 CRO benchmarking survey ICON outperforms other large CROs in 16 of the 17 operational metrics, with a significant lead differential in 11. We received our highest performance ratings on data quality, operational excellence, technology for real-time access to data, and patient/volunteer recruitment. Overall satisfaction with ICON for Phase 1 services has remained at last year’s all-time high and is amongst the very best of the large CROs. These results reflect our commitment to providing the very best early clinical drug development solutions.
