Our Studies.
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.
