In Pfizer Worldwide Development (WWD), we bring together all aspects of clinical development activities required to bring new therapies to market. Specifically, we design and execute clinical trials, analyze the data from those studies, and prepare regulatory submissions. Moreover, we optimize the commercial value of our medicines through label enhancements, outcomes research, and pricing support along with publication campaigns conducted in partnership with our commercial colleagues.
Throughout the clinical trial process, as knowledge about a medicine builds, we ensure patient safety and manage risk. We work on products at all stages of their life cycle and with regulatory bodies around the globe. We work to develop drug-delivery systems and devices that provide valuable medical benefits, as well as conduct various studies and analyze resulting data to ensure the safety and effectiveness of drug candidates.
Our goal is to get medicines and new indications approved and ensure commercial success through the work performed by global, interdisciplinary teams. We focus on productivity so Pfizer can maximally reinvest revenues to discover and develop new and better drugs.
Playing a key role in making the world a healthier place for all is Project Management. Working within many areas including Drug Safety Research & Development, Informatics, Global Biologics, Functional Support Lines, Statistics, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and the Medical Division, the key responsibility of Project Management is the alignment of strategic and operational objectives. This means ensuring that the operational deliverables of the project are achieved on or ahead of schedule, within cost standards, and meet the desired product profile (i.e. quality standard, value), business deliverables and/or key decision required.
In Safety & Risk Management, our main goal is to protect the health and well being of patients by ensuring that medically sound knowledge of the benefits and risks of our products is understood and communicated to patients, physicians, and global health authorities. We also help develop drugs faster and maximize commercial viability by leveraging an unparalleled team of dedicated health care and business professionals. Our focus on safety and risk management enables physicians to prescribe and patients to take our drugs with confidence, promoting health and well-being while securing the future of the company.
By integrating safety and risk management into Pfizer's global drug development and commercialization process, from early clinical stages through approval and marketing, we are able to:
- Strategically direct drug development
- Enhance life cycle management
- Lead risk management policy development
- Support earlier product approvals and best labeling
- Promote worldwide safety compliance
- Enhance Pfizer's reputation as a safety-focused organization and a thought leader
Worldwide Development Operations (Dev Ops) is tasked with delivering a high quality stream of new products to market and with ensuring the timely delivery of the site-based exploratory development portfolios.
Development's first task is to use closely monitored trials of safety and efficacy to help pick out the needle in the haystack of potential candidates: a reliable candidate with "first in class" or "best in class" potential. Only then do we move onto the design, monitoring and interpretation of extensive Phase III studies, often involving dozens of international study sites and thousands of people. Finally if the results are positive, the preparation of trial reports for submission to regulatory agencies worldwide begins.
Throughout this process we experience the rewards of delivering new medications to patients who need them, and of discovering, before production, the unforeseen side effects that can accompany newly discovered therapies. It's a rewarding and people-centered mission that fuels the dedication of our core staff: medical professionals, biological scientists, statisticians and regulatory specialists. We also work closely with Discovery, Pharmaceutical R&D, and our commercial division to ensure that no stone is unturned in our ongoing assessment of each candidate.
At PGRD, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to exciting and ground- breaking research. Those with a demonstrated ability to take initiative while working in a team-spirited atmosphere are most highly sought.
