Cardiovascular
ICON's cardiovascular trial experience, supported by a global team of experts
From genomics to the coming of age glycomics
Discover how glycan biomarkers are quickly becoming key elements of cancer, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal research, setting the stage for a new golden age of epigenetic research and personalised therapeutics.
Read the whitepaperMitigating the impact of COVID-19 on cardiovascular trials
COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the conduct of clinical trials and participants. Participants in cardiovascular (CV) trials typically are older, with underlying CV disease or risk factors such as hypertension and diabetes – a population at higher risk of death from COVID-19 if they contract the virus. As a result, these individuals may have heightened concerns about participating in a clinical trial due to the potential for exposure to COVID-19. Discover measures that can be implemented in ongoing trials to ensure the safety of participants, maximise retention and maintain trial integrity
Read the whitepaperThriving in Value-Based Healthcare: A guide for cardiovascular medical device manufacturers
In December 2016, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) expanded the Bundled Payments for Care Improvement (BPCI) Initiative to include cardiovascular and hip fracture services, taking a major step in the march towards value-based care in the US. Read how can medical device manufacturers sustain growth and successfully navigate this new model?
Download the whitepaperReimagining patient-centric clinical trials with the IoMT
Follow a theoretical patient through the entire clinical trial journey – from initial contact for an early study through transition to treatment with an approved product. At each stage, we explore how IoMT can increase clinical development programme efficiency by reducing the burden on patients, caregivers, pharma companies and medical device and diagnostic manufacturers.
