SUMMARY

• 7+ years of pharmaceutical industry experience in registration clinical trials early and late phase o CRO and internal management experiences

• 13+ years of FDA primary reviewer and regulatory researh experience

• Therapeutic areas include (not limited to): Psychiatry, Neurology, Immunology, Nephrology, Cardiology, Respirology

• Strong skills in multiplicity adjustment methods, regulatorily applicable in clinical trial designs

(including adaptive design, group sequential design in the context of accelerated approval)

• Solid backgrounds in innovative design for a challenging trial in pediatric and/or rare diseases

• Specific Research areas of interest: Treatment Switch (including crossover and re-randomization), constrained Longitudinal Data Analysis (cLDA), An extension of Enhanced Mixture-based Multiplicity Adjustment method for accelerated approval scheme, Estimand and Causal Inference

• More than a decade of regulatory NDA/BLA review experience (very recent rare disease

(immunology) review experiences included) at FDA

• IND review experience to provide sponsors with regulatory guidance on proposed design and analysis, over a decade as primary statistical reviewer at FDA

• 4+ years of project statistician experience

• Excellent interpersonal skills, written and presentation HIGHLIGHTS ON RECENT CONTRIBUTIONS

• Amended Multiplicity Adjustment Method by increasing success chance using Enhanced Mixture- based Gatekeeping approach (uniformly less conservative multiple testing procedure than its Stepwise Testing Algorithm application) for a pivotal Phase 3 trial

• Supported FDA regulatory decision by providing a new application of Bayesian method for BLA trial of mixed rare disease populations of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
