Posted on Apr 1, 2025
More than one million people in the United States today are fighting blood cancer. While a traditional allogeneic stem cell transplant has been the best hope for many, the transplant itself can prove fatal or lead to serious conditions, such as graft vs. host disease. Orca Bio is a late-stage biotechnology company redefining the transplant process by developing next-generation cell therapies with the goal of providing significantly better survival rates with dramatically fewer risks. With our purified, high-precision investigational cell therapies we hope to not only replace patients' blood and immune systems with healthy ones, but also restore their lives.
Orca Bio is seeking an organized and proactive Clinical Trial Assistant (CTA) to support our clinical trial operations. This role will involve working closely with clinical research teams to ensure sites are prepared for visits, maintain data quality, and facilitate effective communication and follow-up on action items. The ideal candidate will collaborate cross-functionally with clinical operations and data management teams and ensure seamless post-visit updates in our clinical trial management systems (CTMS).
Key Responsibilities:
Site Support & Data Quality:
- Assist site CRAs in preparing for site visits and ensure sites are ready for monitoring.
- Support sites in maintaining high-quality data entry and tracking progress.
- Collaborate with data management to identify key areas of focus for sites and CRAs.
System Updates:
- Update CTMS and other relevant systems post-site visits, logging necessary data, including deviations and visit details.
- Ensure accurate and timely updates to all relevant trial documentation.
Follow-up & Action Items:
- Conduct follow-up on action items from site visits to ensure timely resolution and completion.
- Manage site management calls, generate minutes, and provide updates on outstanding items.
- Assist in compiling baseline information for progress reports.
Administrative Support:
- Maintain and update various clinical trial systems, databases, study trackers, and documentation.
- Support the set up and maintenance of the trial master file (TMF).
- Assist with the preparation and submission of clinical trial-related materials as needed.

Qualifications:

  • Previous experience as an in-house CTA CRA or equivalent clinical trial support role is required.
  • Prior experience as a CRCRA is preferred but not mandatory.
  • Strong organizational and critical thinking skills.
  • Ability to work independently and take initiative with minimal supervision.
  • Ability to quickly understand and apply instructions from the Clinical Trial Manager (CTM).
  • Willingness to participate in occasional site monitoring visits (virtual or in-person, approximately every quarter other month).
  • Excellent communication skills for effective coordination and follow-up with sites and internal teams.
  • Experience with CTMS and other clinical trial management systems and TMF systems is a plus.
  • Experience in Hematology/Oncology (HemOnc) or cell therapies is desired but not required.

Attributes:

  • Self-motivated and capable of working independently with minimal supervision.
  • Efficient and detail-oriented in managing administrative tasks.
  • Proactive and adaptable with the ability to hit the ground running.
