Our people are passionate about clinical research and advancing the future of medicine. ICON manages an average of 150 studies per year around the world at our various clinical research sites.
We have an experienced team of physicians, clinic and support staff dedicated to making our participants' experience as positive and comfortable as possible. Participant safety is our top priority at all times.
Our brand new, purpose built clinical research unit in San Antonio offers a modern and comfortable environment designed to make every participant feel safe, supported, and valued. Located in a spacious four story facility with 131 beds, this 69,500 square foot clinic features private dormitories, welcoming recreation areas, a dedicated dining space, outdoor courtyard, and advanced nurse call and safety monitoring systems—all created to ensure an excellent experience throughout your stay. From streamlined check in and private consenting rooms to 24/7 clinical oversight, every detail of the new clinic reflects our commitment to high quality care and a positive participant experience.
This participant centered environment is paired with the robust technical capabilities and infrastructure required to support high quality early phase research. The clinic includes a state of the art pharmacy with ISO classified cleanrooms, temperature controlled drug storage and staging areas, a comprehensive sample processing department, validated REES environmental monitoring, and dedicated spaces for investigators and clinical teams. Our experienced staff provide expert delivery of services to safely and efficiently manage early phase studies from First in Human through proof of concept.
While participation in a clinical study is voluntary, you may be paid for your time and travel. Compensation is based on the length of the study, the number of overnight stays in our clinic and the number of out-patient visits you attend. You may also be compensated for some procedures depending upon the study. All payments we make for study participation have been approved by an Independent Review Board (IRB). The method and frequency of payment will be described in detail in the Informed Consent Form (ICF).
Even if you don’t qualify for a particular study, you may be able to refer a friend or family member. If approved by an Independent Review Board (IRB), ICON may be able to provide you a referral bonus of up to $500 for each qualified study participant that you refer. To qualify for the payment, the person you refer must:
• Be a first-time volunteer
• Mention your name when applying over the phone
• Fully participate in the study
All payments from ICON must be approved by an IRB before any payment may be made to you. Please contact us for more information.
