Advanced Developmental Therapeutics Training Program (ADTTP)
DCTD’s Developmental Therapeutics Clinic (DTC) in the Office of the Director is seeking candidates for the position of Clinical Fellow/Senior Clinical Fellow in the ADTTP.
Increased numbers of novel therapeutic agents and the progressively greater complexity of early-phase clinical trials have led to a need for more physicians with special skills in drug development.

• Opportunity to spend time in DCTD’s Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP). The CTEP component of the training will broaden the trainee’s knowledge of new drug development by providing a unique opportunity to learn the principles and concepts of agent prioritization, drug development strategies, protocol development and review, investigational new drug (IND) application requirements, and adverse event assessment and reporting.
