ICMS GLP Capabilities
ICMS first conducted GLP field trials in 1991, and has expertise in the conduct of terrestrial field dissipations, MOR/RAC and aquatic dissipation studies. ICMS operates research facilities in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba; Saskatoon, Saskatchewan; Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta; and Abbotsford, British Columbia. Traveling outward from these research stations as much as four hours (by road), ICMS services a wide range of environments in the surrounding areas, including the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia.
ICMS research stations directly service EPA/PMRA GLP Zones 5, 7, 11, 12, and 14. ICMS also offers Project Management services including GLP study plan development, field data notebook generation, Study Directorship and/or Project Management, trial oversight, trial summary and final report writing that allow ICMS to offer clients trials in additional GLP zones through the use of qualified independent research associates in other areas of Canada. ICMS has experience providing these services for multiple MOR/RAC and terrestrial field dissipation studies.
ICMS also provides Quality Assurance services through an in-house Quality Assurance Officer (QAO). ICMS QAO provides auditing services
both in-house as well as to external clients such as other contract research organizations, public institutions and Sponsors/Clients. Audits cover
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development - (OECD) ENV/MC/CHEM (98)17, Food and Drug Administration - (FDA) 21 CFR
Part 58 and Environmental Protection Agency - (EPA) Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) 40 CFR Part 160 as well as trials
under CFIA regulation for novel traits. Services include: pre-initiation Study Plan audits, In-phase critical event audits, facility audits, logbook and trial
notebook auditing (paper and electronic), and final report auditing.
Due to industry demand, ICMS has now started offering final report writing services. Generally the Sponsor/Client provides the field data notebook, all supplemental data, the analytical report, and a report template of their choosing. Timelines for final report writing vary with the number of trial sites per study and the complexity of each trial, with all deadlines being agreed to prior to initiation and strictly adhered to.
