Manager, Clinical Pharmacology Lead

• Responsible for providing the clinical pharmacology components of the clinical development plan and provides clinical pharmacology expertise to the project team under the supervision of senior clinical pharmacology leads.

• Has a thorough understanding of the overall clinical development plan and works closely with the clinical sub-team and development team to continually update and refine the plan.

• With Clinical Lead, assures that assigned clinical pharmacology studies fulfill their role in the overall development plan.

• Plans, designs and oversees clinical pharmacology studies as required with operational assistance from DC Development Operations. Accountable and responsible for assigned synopsis and study report content under the supervision of senior clinical pharmacology leads.

• With study team, tracks emerging clinical pharmacology profile of the drug, keeps line management informed of changes in the profile as they occur in the assigned studies. Must be fully knowledgeable about the clinical pharmacology profile of allocated drugs for which studies are being conducted or which are called for in the protocol (e.g. interacting drug).

• Coordinates with medical writers (and other team members) in the data review, analysis and reporting of clinical pharmacology studies. Is responsible, in conjunction with medical writer, for overall content and accuracy of study report before forwarding for final sign-off. Assists with internal and external dissemination of results to Development Team, Investigators etc.
