Cancer Research UK are looking for a Clinical Study Coordinator to join the Centre for Drug Development (CDD)

CDD is the world's only charity-funded drug development facility. Our pioneering research is driven purely by the goal to see scientific breakthroughs bring benefits to patients sooner. CDD is the sponsor of early phase and precision medicine clinical trials in oncology agents. Our broad portfolio rivals that of a medium-sized pharmaceutical company, spanning antibodies, cell therapies, vaccines, drug conjugates and small molecules, making this an interesting and dynamic area to work in. It is an exciting time for CDD as we're expanding our teams to move forward with an ambitious new strategy to maximise the impact of our research to benefit patients.

The Clinical Study Coordinator will aid in the development of new cancer therapies by supporting the exploratory, pre-clinical, set-up, monitoring and archiving aspects of clinical trials in accordance with Cancer Research UK Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and policies, ICH GCP guidelines (International Conference on Harmonisation-Good Clinical Practice), European Union Directives, UK legislations and other regulatory requirements.

This is a two year contract specifically to work on our DETERMINE trial, our multi-drug, precision medicine platform trial for adults and children. It's one of the UKs leading early phase oncology trials, and the first UK national precision medicine trial in rare cancer. Further to your regular CSC tasks you will also support the team with Molecular Tumour Board (MTB) activities in addition to Clinical Study Coordinator Responsibilities.

This is a great opportunity for a proactive, diligent and organised individual to gain experience in a clinical trial facility. You may be a clinical trial administrator looking for your next step or already be working at coordinator level but looking to move into an environment with patient benefit at its heart. Whatever your background as long as you can demonstrate experience within a busy administrative role, which includes data handling and tracking as well as basic knowledge of ICH/GCP we would love to hear from you.

What will I be doing?

• Support project teams by coordinating internal and external meetings, including preparation of presentations, Quality Control checking eTMF documents and taking minutes as required.
• Support clinical trial set up activities by creating/maintaining clinical trial files, including Trial Master Files (TMFs), Investigator Trial Files (ITFs), Pharmacy Files (PF), Laboratory Files, and in-house electronic files, and preparing start up documents in conjunction with the Clinical Study Manager (CSM) and Clinical Research Associate (CRA).
• Ensure Trial Master Files (TMFs) are audit ready by performing regular filing and coordinating TMF reviews so that discrepancies are quickly and appropriately addressed.
• Order and distribute essential documents such as protocols, investigator brochures, and clinical study reports to investigational sites, maintaining recipient logs/trackers to ensure availability of current documentation.
• Coordinate pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and biopsy sample shipments for timely delivery and analysis.
• Ensure sufficient stocks of study related consumables in-house and at investigational sites, creating and maintaining trackers where required, for availability of stock when required.
• Support Molecular Tumour Board (MTB) activities for the DETERMINE trial, including tasks in Medidata Adjudicate for patient cases submitted to the MTB and MTB meeting minute taking.
