Clinical Trial Associate

Clinical Trial Associate / Senior Clinical Trial AssociateDren Bio is a privately held, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering the discovery and development of first-in-class antibody therapeutics for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune disorders, and other serious diseases. Leveraging our wholly owned technologies, we have built a robust R&D pipeline, including two clinical-stage candidates currently being evaluated across multiple ongoing clinical studies. Our lead clinical candidate, dibotatug, is designed to induce antibody-mediated killing of a specific cell type implicated in a range of oncology and autoimmune indications. In addition, we have launched multiple programs from our proprietary Targeted Myeloid Engager and Phagocytosis Platform, a multispecific antibody-based technology engineered to selectively engage a novel phagocytic receptor expressed on myeloid cells (antigen presenting cells) for the targeted depletion of pathologic cells and other disease-causing agents. Data generated using the platform support its broad therapeutic potential, including initial programs focused on oncology, immunology, and neurology. Importantly, multispecific antibodies generated from the platform are specially designed to activate phagocytic mechanisms only in the presence of disease targets, potentially offering a superior safety profile compared to other immunomodulatory therapies.Function: Clinical OperationsLevel: AssociateLocation: San Carlos, CA (Remote candidates may be considered)Reporting Manager: Clinical Trial ManagerAbout the Opportunity:The Clinical Trial Associate / Senior Clinical Trial Associate is responsible for providing administrative support to the Clinical Operations team under the supervision of assigned Clinical Trial Manager(s) and Lead Clinical Trial Associate.Role and Responsibilities:Supports the Clinical Operations team under the supervision of assigned Clinical Trial Manager(s) and Lead Clinical Trial Associate.Onboarding and training on SOPs, CTA responsibilities, study protocol and project-specific plans, study portals, and vendor operations.Creation and maintenance of tracking tools for clinical study operations and performance metrics (e.g., start-up requirements, regulatory documents, IRB submissions and approvals, site contact information, site user system accounts and access, central imaging requirements and submissions, EDC metrics, lab supplies, central lab samples, enrollment, subject visit and status, FAQ, decision, study document versioning, etc.)Assist with creation, updates, and maintenance of site-facing study documents and study tools (e.g., manuals, regulatory templates, reporting forms, training materials, cheat sheets, etc.)Assist with collecting and tracking study and site metrics and maintaining study trackers.
