Accelerated Clinical Trials

FIRECREST

FIRECREST, ICON’s site portal, simplifies and streamlines the delivery of studies for sites and study teams. It is the industry’s largest site portal with over 500,000 site users in 143 countries. FIRECREST has been deployed on over 2,000 studies by 300+ Sponsors, including 18 of the top 20 pharmaceutical companies. Notably, it has a footprint of over 31,000 sites globally. This means that while your study may be new to sites, the same is very unlikely to be true of FIRECREST.

Cassandra

Accurately predict postmarketing requirements as early as Phase 1

Cassandra harnesses real word data obtained from the postmarketing requirements (PMR) databases of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) from 2003 forward. It applies AI and machine learning to the information to predict if and what types of postmarketing requirements will be required by the FDA and/or EMA on new products. Understanding additional requirements can be critical for the overall success of a new drug and managing the cost and risk involved.

  • 99% and 97% accuracy predicting PMRs from the FDA and EMA, respectively
