• Creates a clinical development strategy for new oncology agents that are within the candidate selection to proof-of-concept (PoC) and transition to full development timeframe. The development strategy combines the CPL’s medical knowledge with the expertise of colleagues in a wide range of other fields (e.g., Clinical Pharmacology, Biostatistics) to optimize the clinical development strategy.
• Although registration studies are not within the responsibility of TCO, the CPL in TCO must provide an early clinical development strategy that foresees and supports subsequent registration trials
• Integrates preclinical information (pharmacology, toxicology, pharmacokinetics) and interprets its implications for clinical development, as articulated in the Investigator’s Brochure and first-in-human protocol.
• Collaborates with clinical scientists to develop clinical protocols for TCO compounds and to develop the instruments needed to implement, interpret and report them (e.g., case report forms, report and analysis plans, clinical study reports).
