As the team at ICON plc concludes interviews to find their next Clinical Research Associate, they'll begin planning the next steps that include a formal offer and onboarding of the candidate that accepts. In asking this question, your interviewers are looking to get an honest gauge of what your timeframe would look like for a start date if you were to be offered the position.

"As I am currently employed, my current employer typically wants a four-week notice, which I would do immediately after being offered the position. If I were fortunate enough to be hired, I would be willing and ready to comply with all necessary verifications and background check requirements to ensure that I could start as soon as my notice was up."

First and foremost, there is no right or wrong answer to this question. You will gain respect by being forthright about the notice you would need to give to your current employer because ICON plc expects the same of its own staff. If you are not currently working or just past your graduation date, tell the interviewer you are available immediately. That shows you are enthusiastic to begin at ICON plc.
