Icon Opens Office in the Philippines

Icon , a global provider of outsourced development services to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries, has announced that it will expand its footprint in Asia Pacific with the opening of an office in Manila, Philippines.

“Philippines’ large population, coupled with the country’s well-established network of hospitals, physicians and investigators has made it an attractive location for our clients, and one which we have supported for a number of years through home-based employees,” commented John Hubbard, Group President Clinical Research Services.

Icon has conducted a range of clinical studies across all therapeutic areas in Asia Pacific. Current studies range from small local trials to pan-Asia Pacific and global programs, and are supported by two fully-owned central laboratories, located in Singapore and Bangalore, India.
