Icon Public Limited Company is a contract research organization (" CRO ") that provides outsourced development services to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries on a global scale. The company specializes in strategic development, management and project analysis, which support the entire clinical development process, ranging from compound selection to Phase I to Phase IV clinical studies. The company began operations in 1990. The CRO industry provides separate product development services to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries. Companies in these industries outsource product development services to contract research organizations to more effectively manage the drug development process and maximize the profit potential of patent-protected and generic products at a lower cost. The contract research organization industry has evolved from a small number of companies providing limited clinical services in the 1970s to a large number of contract research organizations providing a wide range of overall research and development processes (including preclinical development, clinical trial management, clinical data management, research design, biological data analysis, aftermarket supervision, regulatory affairs services and central laboratory services). Contract research organizations are subject to applicable regulatory authorities and are required to provide these services in line with better clinical and laboratory practice.
