- Participate in dose selection for FIH; drive Go/No-Go; ensure follow-up and timeline adherence; maintain GCP/comms and high-quality documents.
- Coordinate CRO/outsourced activities, safety monitoring, interim investigator reports, and dose-escalation meetings; oversee AE review.
- Contribute to data review/validation, and prepare/distribute Key Results Memo and Clinical Study Report.
