Replication Competent Lentiviruses (RCL) qPCR test
This qualitative qPCR assay validated by ICON is able to detect the VSV-G in a variety of sample matrices, such as whole blood, PBMC (as per FDA guidelines) and FFPE, with high specificity and high sensitivity, meeting the FDA guidelines for RCL molecular testing.
PAC19 VCN ddPCR test
The PAC19 VCN digital droplet (dd)PCR test was validated by ICON to detect and monitor CAR-T (chimeric antigen receptor) cell expansion and persistence in patients receiving anti-CD19 CAR-T therapies.
Regulatory technology services
Software companies are incentivised to implement their solutions as quickly as possible, often leaving their clients in a situation where the technology doesn’t support the business process, users are frustrated, and return on investment is questionable.
Full manual creation in target source
The client received an audit finding relating to the insufficient tracking of investigational and post-approval commitments. Although investigational and post-approval commitments were previously out of scope for the RIM system dataset, ICON determined to increase the dataset scope within the RIM system to track commitments.
Easing the regulatory burden
Various regulatory agencies, such as the European Commission, the EMA and national Head of Medicines
Agencies (HMA) have all published new recommendations on how to manage clinical trials in the wake of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.

Team delivered an initial US BLA and EU MAA Major Amendment (Gastroenterology)
ICON’s Regulatory Project Managers (RPMs) were approached by a client to deliver, in parallel, an initial US Biologics License Application (BLA) and an EU Marketing Authorisation Application (MAA) Major Amendment for a new formulation within an existing program.
Global expansion and a reduction in approval timelines
ICON’s Regulatory Project Management (RPM) team was approached by a client to help establish a global footprint and reduce the approval timelines for the first wave of targeted countries located in the US, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
Automated conversion and load, including manual enrichment
ICON was asked to support a client with migrating data from an existing Regulatory Information Management (RIM) system into a new system. During migration, the ICON team needed to ensure the safety reporting requirements were correctly described in the new system as current data were incorrect and/or incomplete.
Regulatory project management scenario planning (Oncology)
ICON was asked to provide scenario planning related to accelerating the marketing authorisation application (MAA) approval through various clock-stop scenarios.
EDMS (Electronic Document Management System) expanded to a newly acquired business unit
Following a corporate acquisition, the ICON Regulatory Technology & Information Management (RTIM) team was engaged by a mid-sized life sciences company to re-design, configure, and deploy the existing EDMS to a new business unit.
XEVMPD/SPOR Compliance
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is in the process of implementing IDMP standards that specify standardized definitions to identify and describe medicinal products for human use only.
