Bristol-Myers chooses Icon for early phase clinical development services

Under the agreement, Icon will provide clinical pharmacology and exploratory clinical trial services including study conduct in Icon’s clinical pharmacology units, located in San Antonio, Texas; Omaha, Nebraska; and Manchester, UK.

Icon will also provide all supporting scientific services such as protocol design and development, project management, clinical monitoring, medical monitoring / pharmacovigilence, data management, biostatistics, pharmacokinetics and medical writing.

Icon Development Solutions president Mario Rocci said both companies already have a successful partnership for phase II-IV clinical development and central laboratory services and they look forward to demonstrate the same value and efficiencies to Bristol-Myers-Squibb‘s early phase clinical programs.
