So I have to do internal training, review promotional material and speakers' slides, developing medical message and deliver in some events including advisory board meeting or roundtable meeting. Read and learn most update papers to keep brand team post of latest product information 2. Before NDA, need to co-work with regulatory affairs for like bridging study evaluation (BSE). The recent impressive cooperation is risk management plan which was requested by TFDA because biologic agents bear the risk of TB and hepatitis reactivation. As such, I was actively involved in negotiation, internal discussion and upcoming implementation of this plan. 3. Clinical trial support: for company-sponsored study, I am doing country profiling, site selection and site initiation visit. So fully understanding of investigational drug, study design, crucial issue of recruitment etc is part of my work to support clinical operation team. For Investigator-sponsored research (ISR), I was a facilitator to ensure the processes smooth. 4. For field work, I regularly visit tier-1 or 2 thought-leaders (TL) to gain medical insights and interact with them by scientific exchange, and meanwhile, profiling TLs. The communication with TLs is important because it helps to shape the market for new product and ensure appropriate and safe use of marketed drugs. Besides, well-support to market access team is also part of job by the ways of providing update data and building up good relationship with payer or reviewers.
