• Ensure essential study documentation is complete and maintained in accordance with ICH-GCP and regulatory requirements.
• Prepare accurate monitoring reports and follow-up letters within required timelines.
• Maintain effective communication with investigators, site personnel, sponsors, and internal project teams.
• Track study progress and update clinical trial management systems (CTMS).
• Support audit and inspection readiness across assigned sites.
