Department/Directorate Information:
Drug Development Unit - Investigator Initiated Trials team.
The Drug Development Unit aims to seamlessly integrate preclinical drug discovery, proof-of-principle phase I trials and tumour-specific evaluation of novel agents. It conducts first-in-man phase I trials involving a range of targets, including growth factor or intracellular signalling, angiogenesis, apoptosis, epigenetics and DNA repair. All trials are underpinned by extensive analysis of biomarkers, both predictive and pharmacodynamics. The DDU includes The Oak Foundation Drug Development Centre (Oak Ward) specifically designed for phase I clinical trials. The centre provides inpatient beds, treatment chairs and outpatient suites, allowing researchers to enter patients onto phase I trials each year.
The DDU also has a portfolio of investigator-initiated phase 1 trials (IIT's) of novel targeted agents and combinations of these. These studies are centrally managed by the IIT team within the DDU that performs functions associated with sponsoring early phase trials including project management, monitoring, pharmacovigilance, database development and central data review. The successful applicant will support the Senior Clinical Data Analyst in overseeing data management activities of the IIT team.
