業務内容

Accountability:

• Provide statistical expertise in clinical development programs, development strategy, study design, data analysis and interpretation of results for clinical trials;
• Contribute to develop clinical development programs, development strategy and study design, in terms of statistical viewpoint, based on advanced TA/DA knowledge.
• Support broad implementation of innovative statistical approaches across the development portfolio.
• Support development and implementation of innovative approaches, participating in their hands‐on implementation through direct interactions with statisticians. This involves, but is not limited to, identifying appropriate designs and methods, decision rules (e.g., Go/No Go); planning, running, and summarizing simulation studies to evaluate the operating characteristics of alternative designs and methods under a range of scenarios; and participating in the implementation of the selected approaches by engaging in protocol and SAP write‐up.
• Participate in training and presentations on innovative approaches across the R&D organization (including statisticians, pharmacometricians, clinicians, and other stakeholder groups) to ensure awareness and adequate knowledge about these methods. Keep up‐to‐date knowledge of designs and analysis methods for clinical trials, including adaptive designs, model‐based methods, etc.
• Collaborate with external consultants to provide support in the development and implementation of innovative methods and designs.
• May engage in external collaborations within professional associations, participating in working groups, program committees, organizing sessions and presenting at scientific meetings, and publishing in peer reviewed journals
• Identify opportunities for innovation; interact directly with statisticians and other “Quantitative Sciences” scientists (including global) for early identification of opportunities for innovative approaches.
• Contribute people development through coaching and advices with line managers in Biostatistics dept.

Decision Making:

• Proposal statistical modeling approach to meet requirement and/or to solve issues for clinical development program.

Influence:

• Facilitate strategic & data‐oriented (quantitative) discussion by utilizing statistical thinking such as modeling & simulation approach
• Provide statistical expertise to develop persuasive/logical data interpretation for regulatory approvals in timely manner.
• Implement “state‐of‐the‐art” statistical strategies and advanced methodology
• Lead the implementation of modeling & simulation approaches for development programs in Japan R&D through cross functional collaboration not only in Japan R&D but also global QS.

Interface:

• Internal; J‐CoT (Japan Compound Team), QS‐J Matrix team, Group managers in Biostatistics dept, Statisticians including Statistical Modeling & Methodology (SMM) in SDS of global QS for projects assigned
•  External; PMDA, Academia related to TA/DA assigned, Professional societies
