Job Description
The Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center (HDFCCC) is seeking a Clinical Research Coordinator Superivor for the Department of Surgery in the Breast Care Center Program. Under supervision of the ISPY Program Project Director, the CRC Supervisor is tasked with managing and facilitating the day-to-day operations of their direct reports including training and supervising a team of three to six CRCs. The CRC Supervisor is responsible for training and evaluating CRC performance in executing studies, direct oversight of data collection and reporting, and implementation of protocols within the program that meet federal, state and institutional policies and guidelines.
The CRC Supervisor assists the Director in resolving operational, workload, protocol implementation, and data collection issues for Phase I, II and Phase III studies. The candidate will be a proven team-player with project management skills and mindset and can consistently deliver results on a tight timeline. The CRC Supervisor will work with the Direcor to develop standard operating procedures and is responsible for training and mentoring CRCs to coordinate studies per Good Clinical Practice, with the goal to achieve optimal efficiency and productivity without jeopardizing patient care and data integrity. The individual will be a team player and assist with projects and patient coverage.
More specifically, the two studies, sponsored by QuantumLeap HealthCare, are the ISPY 2 trial and the DCIS/RECAST trial. The I-SPY trial involves novel trial designs in the setting of neoadjuvant chemotherapy to accelerate the drug development process. Our goal is to introduce and rapidly test novel targeted strategies for women at high risk for recurrence, at the time of primary cancer diagnosis, rather than waiting until they develop metastatic disease. Neoadjuvant therapy allows visualization of tumor response to treatment, and thus is the ideal platform to identify mechanisms of resistance, develop diagnostic markers, and individualize therapy. I-SPY 2, a phase 2 adaptive randomization trial. It is a unique public/private partnership between QuantumLeap Healthcare Collaborative and the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), patient advocates and over 40 major cancer research centers across the United States and Canada. The DCIS: RECAST Phase 2 trial assesses whether active surveillance monitoring and hormonal therapy in patients diagnosed with ductal cell carcinoma in situ (DCIS), an early stage of breast cancer, can be an effective management of the disease, and is open at 24 locations across the United States.
