CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
FOREWORD
“At Icon we are committed to placing patients at the heart of everything we do, and this threads through how we approach research.” Despite floods, fires and a global health crisis, Icon Group has continued to deliver life-saving treatments to patients across our international network. In a year of unprecedented challenges, the Icon team stepped up to not only ensure patients continued to have access to the care they needed, but also rose to the challenge and forged ahead on our mission to deliver more care to more people. Across all aspects of the Group – cancer care, compounding, pharmacy and research we collectively focussed on making a lasting difference. With the introduction of new cancer centres domestically and across our Asia footprint, we introduced new communities to Icon’s world-class care. We also expanded our pharmacy and compounding offerings, and continued to invest in maturing our research remit, further extending our commitment to patient-centred, comprehensive care. We are proud to offer Australia’s largest private oncology clinical trials program. Icon continues to lead the way in Phase I through to Phase IV trials, as well as unique investigator-initiated trials across haematology, medical oncology and radiation oncology. With a long-standing experienced research team, we are well positioned to expand our research infrastructure to bring more clinical trials to patients across our global network in the months and years to come. Research plays a paramount role in improving cancer care today and tomorrow. At Icon we are committed to placing patients at the heart of everything we do, and this threads through how we approach research. Our doctors are passionate about clinical trials, our multidisciplinary teams work together to deliver unique Icon investigator-initiated research, and we strive to build and maintain industry partnerships all with the aim of improving patient outcomes and reducing the global cancer burden. Together we are providing much needed hope to patients and their families across continents and I cannot be prouder of what the Icon team has and will continue to achieve for a brighter tomorrow.

DIRECTOR OF RESEARCH
FOREWORD
“My special thanks to our wonderful patients whose determination to do better and go further for themselves, their families, supporters, and the broader community remains our primary inspiration.” The past year has been a transformative one for research at Icon Group. It has been a year for meeting unexpected challenges and rising to them with new solutions, innovations and fresh faces. Despite the challenges of COVID-19, 2020 saw a record year for clinical trial recruitment, a restructure to best take forward the opportunities presented by the transfer of functions from the Icon Cancer Foundation into the group’s research division, and a comprehensive external review by Professor Nik Zeps to inform our forward strategic planning. Our year began with the loss of our founding Laboratory Director, Noor Parker and the retirement of our founding Icon Research Executive Manager, Fiona Jonker. Their role in both clinical research and service was immense, and I acknowledge their significant contribution which has set a solid foundation for our continued success. Subsequently we have welcomed Sophie Mepham PhD as the Group’s Executive Manager of Research and Deb Taylor as Director of Cellular Therapy Laboratory. Sophie brings a wealth of practical and governance experience from her previous senior roles at Peter MacCallum Cancer Institute and the NHS, and Deb similarly from her longstanding leadership role at Mater Group. I am delighted to see the energy and freshness of thought both have brought to their roles. My thanks go to all our people across Icon Group who have worked creatively and with absolute commitment to our goals of delivering innovation and research to the highest quality. My thanks also extend to our committed Icon Cancer Foundation donors whose generous support underpins many of our research activities.

EXECUTIVE MANAGER OF RESEARCH
FOREWORD
“The research team has undergone a significant restructure over the last six months to ensure we are ready for our expansion.” It has been a privilege to take up the role of Executive Manager of Research at Icon in May of 2020 and have the opportunity to lead a team of passionate and driven researchers and doctors. Icon has already demonstrated itself to be the leader in delivering oncology clinical trials in the private sector and I look forward to driving growth in the trials we have available, opening clinical trials at more centres across our national network, and increasing international opportunities as we move into 2021. The research team has undergone a significant restructure over the last six months to ensure we are ready for our expansion, which will see us open sites at North Lakes in Brisbane’s northern suburbs, Sydney, Canberra, Hobart, Adelaide, Singapore and more! We will be increasing our capabilities in Phase I trials as well as expanding our haematology trials portfolio and continuing our important global industry relationship with Varian for radiation oncology studies led by doctors at Icon. Our clinical trials program continues to be supported by the highest quality pharmacy program through both our experienced Icon, Slade and Epic pharmacy teams. With dedicated clinical trial pharmacists and our own compounding pharmacy units, this further strengthens our trial capabilities with a holistic and supportive ecosystem which places Icon in a unique position to drive research forward and bring more care to where it is needed. I would like to thank the entire research team for their dedication and congratulate them for the many wins achieved in a year of unprecedented obstacles. I look forward to more successes in 2021 which will no doubt see more growth and far-reaching opportunities for the ongoing benefit of cancer patients and their families.

ICON ANNUAL RESEARCH REPORT 2020
“CLINICAL TRIALS HAVE BEEN LIFE-CHANGING FOR ME.” “This opportunity has helped me get my life back and changed my outlook. My tumours have decreased in size and the majority of my side effects have virtually disappeared. I truly can’t believe I am still here, and without research I wouldn’t have had the chance. Now I can look to the future. Don’t just accept one person’s advice. If it means the chance for a longer life, explore absolutely every avenue you can and don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions.”

ICON GROUP’S RESEARCH Icon Group operates Australia’s largest private cancer clinical trials program with a growing reach across the global Icon network. With research a relatively uncommon practice in a private healthcare setting, Icon is extremely proud of the depth and experience within our dedicated research arm that has been operating for over 25 years. We provide patients and clinicians with access to national and international clinical trials across medical oncology, haematology and radiation oncology, including the nation’s largest Phase I program, trials sponsored by the pharmaceutical industry, along with collaborative studies undertaken in partnership with various universities and industry groups. Icon has been an active contributor in several milestone trials that have seen significant advancements in cancer drugs including the ground-breaking trial that changed the use of Herceptin in HER2-positive breast cancer patients. We also conduct and have contributed to a number of significant radiation oncology trials including TRANSFORM – the single largest study of its kind in the world. This trial focussed on stereotactic radiation therapy as an alternative to systemic treatment in men with oligometastatic prostate cancer, a game changer for patients with advanced prostate cancer. SHRINC was also an important radiation oncology investigator-initiated trial assessing the use of stereotactic hypofractionated radiation therapy for multiple (310) cerebral metastases.
Icon is committed to further extending our research partnerships and activities to continue to provide more patients and clinicians with access to new and emerging advances in cancer treatment.

ICON ANNUAL RESEARCH REPORT 2020
RESEARCH PHARMACIES As part of Icon Group’s integrated approach to cancer care, the Group provides a complete suite of pharmacy management services to support the operations of Icon Cancer Centre, Epic and Slade pharmacies, as well as Slade Health TGA-licensed manufacturing services. Icon’s Pharmacy Practice Unit oversees the governance and management of the Group’s pharmacy operations. During COVID-19 restrictions, our research pharmacies displayed herculean levels of adaptability and strength. Working swiftly to set new policies and procedures to allow for the continuation of patient drug delivery and return was monumental in keeping clinical research running throughout the pandemic. Innovative solutions including sustainable transport options and the digitalisation of processes were also positive opportunities to have arisen from the challenging year.
COVID-19 HOME TESTING STUDY Sponsored by Sonic Healthcare Icon launched a COVID-19 home testing study at Icon centres in Wahroonga (NSW), South Brisbane, North Lakes and Wesley (QLD) and Richmond (VIC). A Phase II prospective study looking at the feasibility and efficacy of selfcollected nasopharyngeal specimens for COVID-19 detection in an Australian oncology population. This was the first study in Australia to explore the feasibility of self-testing for COVID-19 in a cancer population and is Icon’s first entirely virtual study, using e-consent and REDCap’s automated data capture.
“We know that for many cancer patients, moving around in the community can not only expose patients to COVID-19 but also viruses such as the common cold. At-home testing is an important way Icon can protect patients from viral infection at a time when they are most vulnerable and reduce the risk of COVID-19 for patients and team members within our centres.” DR JOHN BASHFORD, ICON DIRECTOR OF RESEARCH

MILESTONES IN RADIATION THERAPY LIBERATE LIBERATE is an Icon Investigator-Initiated Trial which aims to provide proof of concept that focal brachytherapy minimises side effects that are commonly seen in treating the whole prostate for men with low to intermediate risk prostate cancer. LIBERATE is the only clinical registry monitoring patients who have undergone focal brachytherapy helping to ensure quality assurance and measure rates of success and side effects. This study is led by Radiation Oncologist, Dr Andrew See in collaboration with Urologic Surgeon, A/Prof Jeremy Grummet from Epworth Healthcare.
TRANSFORM Led by Principal Investigator, Radiation Oncologist, Dr Patrick Bowden, TRANSFORM was a prospective Phase II study concluding high-tech precision stereotactic radiation therapy (SBRT) can prevent treatment escalation for more than two years and improve the prognosis of advanced prostate cancer patients with early metastatic cancer. TRANSFORM was published in the International Journal of Cancer and is the single

Medical Oncology Committee
Radiation Oncology Committee
The newly named Icon Medical Oncology
The Icon Radiation Oncology Research Committee
Research Committee has been in existence
was established early 2018 to meet the varied
since 2006. With the separation of the medical
governance needs of the growing mix of radiation
oncology and haematology research governance
oncology clinical trials versus technical and allied
in August 2020, the committee has been able
health projects across several Icon Cancer Centre
to better devote more time and attention to the
locations. An additional role of this committee
increasing predominance of Phase I medical
includes reviewing and assessing requests from
oncology trials. Committee members include
external healthcare organisations to have Icon
some of Icon Cancer Centre’s most prolific and
Cancer Centre as service providers for radiation
active investigators, Medical Oncologists, A/Prof
oncology services.
Jim Coward and Dr Jeffery Goh. ◊ A/Prof Nicole McCarthy - Medical Oncologist
Chair
Haematology Committee The Icon Haematology Research Committee was created mid-2020. This research committee was formed from the division of the prior dual medical oncology and haematology research committee to focus more efficiently on the needs of the haematologist and drive growth in both participant accrual and new trial activity for the clinical haematology portfolio. This newly formed committee permitted the inclusion of additional haematologists with a passion, expertise and interest in clinical trials. ◊ Dr Jason Butler - Haematologist - Chair
