Frequently asked questions

Besides the set moments for the research, you have a lot of time for yourself. The research centers offer wireless internet, TVs with a DVD or Blue-ray player or Netflix, as well as computers and video game consoles in the living room. You can also play darts, pool and table tennis. Some participants really take this time for themselves. They study or read a book. During longer studies, ICON organizes activities and workshops. 

You may take part in four studies per year. There must be a period of at least 30 days between each study. A longer waiting time applies for some studies. 

During the trial, you may suffer from mild symptoms like headache or nausea. That may be caused by the medication. It might also be caused by needing to fast for the trial, for example. Those side effects are no fun, but fortunately are not dangerous.

Before a medication is tested on people, it has already been studied extensively in a lab. This enables us to predict well which side effects you might get and we can prepare you for them. It almost never happens that participants suffer from unexpected side effects. For example, an allergic reaction to the medication occurs on average once a year.

ICON often conducts trials with medication that is radioactive-labeled. We do that to be able to study how and how quickly the drug is absorbed, processed and eliminated by the body. In a trial with radioactive-labeled medication, you have less of a chance of side effects than in other trials. This is because a much lower dose is administered in these trials.
