About The Position

The Head of Clinical Science is a critical scientific leadership role dedicated to generating and interpreting clinical data for the company's RLT portfolio. This position ensures the scientific integrity of all clinical documents and visuals, supporting evidence-based decision-making and regulatory submissions. Reporting to the Head of Clinical Development or CMO, the role demands expertise in clinical pharmacology, biostatistics, and RLT-specific sciences to translate complex data into actionable insights. The focus is on writing key documents like investigator brochures, statistical analysis plans, clinical study reports, nonclinical summaries, and scientific figures, while emphasizing the unique pharmacodynamics of radiopharmaceuticals.

Requirements

• PhD in life sciences, PharmD, or MD with a focus on clinical pharmacology or related field.
• 8+ years in clinical science or medical writing within biotech/pharma, with experience in oncology or radiopharmaceuticals.
• Expertise in authoring ICH-compliant documents (IB, SAP, CSR) and proficiency in data visualization tools (e.g., GraphPad, R).
• Strong knowledge of RLT sciences, including alpha/beta emitters, ligand targeting, and nonclinical-to-clinical translation.
• Exceptional writing and analytical skills, with attention to detail and ability to handle multiple projects.
• Experience in a matrixed environment, with strong interpersonal skills for team collaboration.

Responsibilities

• Investigator Brochure (IB) Writing: Author and revise the IB, synthesizing preclinical, clinical, and safety data with a focus on RLT aspects such as radionuclide decay, biodistribution, and therapeutic efficacy. Ensure compliance with ICH guidelines and timely updates based on emerging data.
• Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) Development: Create and oversee SAPs for clinical trials, defining endpoints, statistical methods, and subgroup analyses tailored to RLT outcomes (e.g., response rates via PET imaging or dosimetry metrics).
• Clinical Study Report (CSR) Preparation: Lead the writing of CSRs, integrating trial results, safety narratives, and interpretations to support regulatory filings and publications. Highlight RLT-specific findings, such as radiation dosimetry correlations with efficacy.
• Nonclinical Summaries: Compile and author summaries of nonclinical data (e.g., toxicology, pharmacokinetics) for inclusion in regulatory documents, emphasizing translation to clinical RLT applications.
• Scientific Figures and Visuals: Design and produce all scientific figures, tables, and graphics for reports, presentations, and manuscripts, ensuring they effectively communicate complex RLT data like dose-response curves or imaging-based endpoints.
• Data Interpretation and Strategy: Analyze clinical trial data to inform go/no-go decisions, protocol amendments, and publication strategies. Collaborate with biostatisticians and data scientists for robust analyses.
• Cross-Functional Support: Provide scientific input to regulatory, medical affairs, and R&D teams, including responses to health authority queries.
• Mentorship and Process Improvement: Guide clinical scientists on best practices for document writing and implement efficiencies in scientific workflows.
