Integrated Clinical Trial Services
About Integrated Clinical Trial Services - West Des Moines, IA
“Pioneering Progress in the Heartland.” For 17 years, Integrated Clinical Trial Services (ICTS) has served as a center of medical advancement in the Midwest. Located in West Des Moines, Iowa, we bridge the gap between global pharmaceutical breakthroughs and the local community.
As a proud member of the Eximia Research network, ICTS has built an impeccable reputation for delivering high-quality, reliable data while providing participants with access to the next generation of medical care.
The ICTS Mission
Our mission is to provide an environment where scientific rigor meets compassionate patient support. Whether you are seeking a new approach to a chronic condition or wish to contribute to medical science as a Healthy Volunteer, our team is dedicated to ensuring your experience is safe, transparent, and professionally managed.
The ICTS Difference
What sets ICTS apart is our medical-first philosophy. Unlike many general research sites, we partner exclusively with area physicians who have a deep, specialized interest in specific therapeutic indications. This ensures that every study is led by an expert who understands the nuances of the condition being treated.
To support our physicians and maintain the highest integrity of research protocols, we employ a highly skilled clinical staff. Our study coordinators bring an intensive medical background to the table, ensuring that participant safety is monitored with professional precision.
This “hands-on” approach not only delivers clean, timely data to our sponsors and CROs but provides our participants with a level of care that is second to none in the Des Moines metro area.
A Regional Hub for Innovation
While we are rooted in the West Des Moines community, our reach is truly regional. Because of our location’s easy accessibility, situated just a short drive from the Des Moines International Airport, we serve subjects from across the entire state of Iowa and surrounding Midwest states.
Our facility is designed for participant comfort and clinical efficiency. We provide a professional, welcoming atmosphere where the complexities of clinical research are handled with ease.
From our streamlined check-in process to our modern diagnostic tools, we make it simple for our neighbors in Waukee, Clive, Urbandale, Des Moines, and other nearby areas to take part in potentially life-changing medical research.
