This post is a full-time appointment to provide medical support to the Early Phase Trials team including consultants, nursing and administration staff by primarily acting as co-investigator on early phase clinical trials.

The remit of the Early Phase Trials team is to undertake cutting edge research in developing new therapeutics and conducting translational research in cancer patients.  Early phase trials are an important first step in the drug development process and are not only designed to test the safety and tolerability of novel agents but interrogate new drug formulations, combinations, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Our team delivers trials that are designed and led by our staff, collaboratively developed with pharma and biotech partners or studies to which we recruit and which support our academic strategy.

Main duties of the job

A diverse range of clinical research trials are in progress and, following training, you will be expected to participate in these studies as a co-/sub-investigator. These include Phase I trials of immunotherapeutics, small molecule inhibitors, next-generation chemotherapy trials, combination / multi-modality Phase I trials, molecular characterisation / translational studies.

You will be involved in managing all aspects of trial patients, across a diverse range of solid and HO tumours, through new patient consultation, consent and screening patients and reviewing patients at follow-up appointments.  Primarily, patients are seen in the outpatient setting but with some inpatient cover.  The appointee is required to attend 6 trial outpatient clinics per week (see indicative timetable).
