Clinical Trial Manager - SITU
Grade 7: £39,424 - £47,779 p.a.
Closing Date: Thursday 20th November, 12 noon
About the role
We are looking for an experienced Clinical Trial Manager to join the Surgical Intervention Trials Unit (SITU), and lead on a large national multi-centre NIHR-HTA funded trial in prostate cancer surgery (PRESIDENT trial).
The Trial Manager will coordinate the implementation and running of the PRESIDENT trial across participating hospital sites in the UK. This is a fantastic opportunity to play a pivotal role in the success of this randomised trial from start to finish. The PRESIDENT trial is an world-first innovative trial examining the changes in survival and health-related quality of life in patients with newly diagnosed hormone-sensitive low-volume metastatic prostate cancer after treatment with either standard of care, or standard of care plus radical prostatectomy (RP). Over 800 patients will be recruited in up to 26 NHS Trusts across the UK and the entire trial is expected to last around 8 years.
The postholder will act as Trial Manager within the SITU Group, principally responsible for the overall running and management of the PRESIDENT clinical trial. This will involve supporting the participating clinical centres, tracking progress at each centre and taking appropriate action to ensure good recruitment, compliance with the protocol and the quality and timeliness of the data collection. There are some logistical complexities in managing the PRESIDENT trial, working with multiple stakeholders within the University, in other Universities and across the NHS, as well as with Patient and Public Involvement representatives.
