- Clinical study protocols
- Clinical Study Reports (CSRs)
- Investigator Brochures (IBs) and Informed Consent Forms (ICFs)

Role summary
Senior/principal medical writer responsible for planning, authoring, editing, formatting, and QC of clinical regulatory documents such as protocols, IBs, ICFs, DSURs, CSRs, and patient narratives for a CRO, ensuring compliance with SOPs, ICH/FDA/GCP, and eCTD requirements.
