UK Clinical Trial Application (CTA) Regulatory Affairs Consultant
We are looking for an experienced UK Clinical Trial Application (CTA) Regulatory Affairs Consultant to provide hands-on regulatory support for an upcoming Phase 1 First-in-Human (FIH) clinical trial submission in the UK.
This is not an entry-level position. We are specifically looking for a regulatory professional with recent, practical UK CTA experience who can hit the ground running from Day 1 and independently support the submission through the MHRA/HRA and IRAS process, including management of Requests for Further Information (RFIs).
Key Responsibilities
- Provide expert regulatory guidance on the current UK clinical trial regulatory framework and CTA requirements
- Develop and advise on the regulatory strategy for a Phase 1 FIH small-molecule clinical trial
- Lead/support preparation, review and submission of the UK CTA through IRAS
- Review the CTA submission package for regulatory completeness, quality and consistency
- Provide expert input into key submission documentation, including protocol, Investigator’s Brochure, IMPD, informed consent/PIS documents and supporting regulatory documentation
- Advise on UK-specific requirements for Phase 1/FIH studies, including MHRA and Research Ethics Committee expectations
- Coordinate and support MHRA/HRA/REC queries and RFIs, including preparation and review of responses
- Identify potential regulatory issues or submission gaps proactively and recommend practical solutions
- Support the submission through regulatory review and approval, working closely with internal teams, CROs and other stakeholders
- Ensure activities remain aligned with current UK clinical trial legislation, MHRA guidance, HRA requirements and applicable GCP standards
