Icon announces new Clinical Research Unit in San Antonio, Texas

Icon (ICLR) plc announced the expansion of its early phase capabilities with the opening of a new, state-of-the-art Clinical Research Unit in San Antonio, Texas, as well as new satellite outpatient clinics in Houston, Texas and Lawrence, Kansas. These new, purpose-built clinics will significantly expand ICON’s capacity to conduct first-in-human, healthy participant, and patient cohort studies. “We’ve designed the clinic to improve the experience of study participants, while scaling our capacity and maintaining our high-quality standards,” said Dr. Ute Berger, ICON’s Chief Medical Officer and President, Development Solutions. “By fully integrating our clinical, laboratory, and pharmacy operations under one roof, we can largely eliminate logistical delays. This translates directly into faster dosing, real-time adaptability, and accelerated delivery of high-quality data for our sponsors. We are proud to invest in the San Antonio life sciences community and to contribute to its continued growth as a hub for innovation.”
