- Contribute to clinical pharmacology strategy and related clinical development plan consistent with the program goals and the US and international regulatory guidance/guideline of small molecule therapeutics.
- Collaborate with DMPK and Medical Science teams to define biopharmaceutics and clinical pharmacology studies needed to support an NDA and drug label.
- Determine scope, design, plan, and analyze phase 1-4 pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics studies, including development of appropriate population PK models, and PK/PD analysis required from a development and regulatory perspective to take a project from its existing or concept stage to commercialization.
- Plan, prepare, and review drug development plans and regulatory filings.
- Provide clinical pharmacology expertise to the project team and closely collaborate with Clinical Operations, Clinical Sciences, Biometrics, and Bioanalysis.
- Contribute to the design Phase 1 clinical pharmacology studies (eg, drug-drug interactions, relative bioavailability/bioequivalence, special populations, etc.)
- Participate in the selection of Phase 1 CROs for clinical pharmacology studies.
- Accountable and responsible for the analysis and interpretation of PK and PK/PD data.
- Participate in preparation of clinical study protocol and report.
- Prepare clinical pharmacology section of the regulatory documents (IND, IMPD, IB, NDA CTD, etc.), participate in drafting publications and making scientific presentations consistent with development strategies.
