Description

Description Tris Pharma, Inc. (www.trispharma.com) is a leading privately-owned U.S. biopharmaceutical company with a focus on development and commercialization of innovative medicines in ADHD, spectrum disorders, anxiety, pain and addiction addressing unmet patient needs. We have >150 US and International patents and market several branded ADHD products in the U.S. We also license our products in the US and ex-US markets. We have a robust pipeline of innovative products spanning neuroscience and other therapeutic categories employing our proprietary science and technology. Our science and technology make us unique, but our team members set us apart; they are the engine fueling Tris’ passion and innovation. Our colleagues understand the criticality of operating a successful business and take pride in the company’s success.

We have an opening in our Monmouth Junction, NJ Facility for a Director, Clinical Pharmacology. The Director, Clinical Pharmacology is responsible for designing and executing clinical pharmacology strategies that optimize dose selection, exposure–response understanding, and PK/PD integration across Tris Pharma’s pipeline of pain, CNS, and neurology assets. This individual will apply model-informed drug development (MIDD) principles to support translational science and clinical development plans from first-in-human through late phase trials and regulatory filing. The role requires strong expertise in pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and exposure-response modeling and will collaborate closely with clinical leaders, statisticians, bioanalytical teams, and regulatory affairs to inform key development decisions. Designs non-clinical in vitro and in vivo pharmacology/toxicology/translational studies. Analyses and reviews data to inform drug development activities. Design, analyze, and interpret PK, PD, and PK/PD data from Phase 1–4 studies to support dose rationale and clinical development strategy. Author and review clinical pharmacology sections of protocols, IBs, CSRs, and regulatory submissions (IND, NDA, briefing packages). Conduct noncompartmental and population PK/PD modeling, exposure–response analyses, and simulations using tools such as NONMEM, Phoenix NLME, Monolix, Pumas, and R. Contribute to model-informed dose selection for special populations and formulation bridging studies. Apply quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) and mechanistic modeling where appropriate to integrate translational and clinical data. Partner with clinical scientists, biostatisticians, and CROs to ensure appropriate collection and analysis of PK and PD data; Collaborate with nonclinical, bioanalytical, and CMC teams to support bridging between preclinical and clinical pharmacology datasets. Present study results internally and at scientific conferences and contribute to peer-reviewed publications. Develop and execute model-informed regulatory strategies supporting dose justification and label language. Support responses to FDA and other health-authority information requests. Participate in due diligence activities and assessment of in-licensing or partnered programs.
