Plan country-level sites strategy by proactively aligning country site engagement activity with Sanofi’s Clinical Trial engagement strategy and current and upcoming clinical development programs. Actively engage with investigational sites in all stages of clinical trial development activities from protocol development through to study completion, and across multiple programs, thus contributing to accelerated and more efficient clinical development of Sanofi compounds through improved site performance (reduced timelines, increased number of patients enrolled and better quality of study delivery). Drive and oversee the engagement strategy of all investigational sites for the CSU, adapting the level of personal SEL engagement in accordance with the mutual benefit agreement of the Collaborative and OneSite strategies. Be accountable for the clinical trial delivery (across studies) and implementation on innovative digital solutions at the Collaborative and OneSites. Provide transversal collaboration by supporting early planning activities, optimizing clinical trial operations, improving site engagement, and anticipating upcoming studies through stronger communication between the sites and Sanofi, and contributing to effective patient recruitment and retention plans at local level.

MDA remains the main point of contact for GFL in conducting OF and responsible for the country feasibility confirmation. Promote the inclusion of patients that are truly representative of the targeted study population, in alignment with the local regulatory requirements. In reference to DE&I objectives, work with Sites for DE&I awareness and early identification of DE&I population. If applicable, include this analysis in the feasibility stage (with the R&R plan) to create a strong patient profile to help the sites target ideal candidates
  • Supporting Site selection Process Support site selection activities in alignment with Start-up Strategy Manager or LSM, to accelerate site activation on the basis of the SEL knowledge /feasibility feedback of the sites and any specific agreement or specific document set up with sites (e.g. Master Clinical Trial Agreements, Mutual confidentiality disclosure agreement etc.).
