Testimony of the team
I am a clinical operations project manager and regulatory affairs officer at ATLANSTAT. On a daily basis, I assist our partners, study sponsors, in the set-up, operational implementation and follow-up of their clinical trials.
In this context, my missions are very varied. They include writing synopses, protocols, information notes and informed consents, preparing and submitting Clinical Trial Authorisation applications to the regulatory authorities, carrying out feasibility studies to identify potential investigating centres, managing agreements with the centres, assisting with the deployment of the study in the centres (implementation stages), and supervising the monitoring activities carried out by the CRAs
These activities are carried out in a demanding and constantly evolving regulatory environment, on all types of products (medicines for human use, medical devices, in vitro diagnostic medical devices, etc.), and concern studies on patients as well as on healthy volunteers.
Analytical skills, critical thinking and strong adaptability enable us to respond to the needs of our partners in the best possible way. The diversity of the projects we are entrusted with and the valuable collaboration both internally and externally with other clinical research professions make the position I hold so interesting.
