The historic Parker Solar Probe (PSP) mission has brought forward unprecedented observations and measurements of the young solar wind. With its unique orbit concept, PSP has been able to measure interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) at uncharted heliocentric distances and in the process, reveal the nature of early propagation of ICMEs. In this project, we provide the first insights into more than 40 ICMEs sampled by PSP since its launch till 2022. Initial statistics confirm previously hypothesized concepts and reveal new discoveries of ICME evolution in the inner heliosphere. It is observed that the post-ICME solar wind is more perturbed at heliocentric distances farther out from the Sun. On a similar note, it is seen that magnetic configurations of ICMEs are more complex in general farther out from the Sun, whereas the magnetic configurations closer to the Sun are more flux-rope like. Multi-linear robust regression hints at a slower rate of magnetic field decrease with heliocentric distance. In a similar approach, linear least-squares regression only shows a modest correlation between ICME duration and heliocentric distance.
