Icon, Advarra enter partnership, introduces ‘research-ready’ site network model

ICON (ICLR) and Advarra have entered a definitive partnership agreement to introduce a new ‘research-ready,’ connected site network model for clinical trials. The partnership will integrate ICON’s global clinical trial solutions and services with Advarra’s site CTMSs, eISF, and eSource systems, which are already used by more than 50,000 investigators worldwide, including researchers at 90 of the top 125 academic medical centers, 90 percent of NCI-Designated Cancer Centers, and the top site networks. This approach leverages Advarra’s Study Collaboration as the connector to ICON’s proprietary technology to create a shared operating environment for ICON studies that reduces administrative friction, accelerates study startup, and increases clinical trial participation.
