About Daniel Pennington
Clinical Trial Manager with a deep focus in oncology research and a strong foundation in early-phase (Phase 1/2) trials, investigator-initiated trials (IITs), and Non-IND programs. I bring over seven years of hands-on experience in clinical operations, with a particular strength in study startup, vendor management, and cross-functional leadership.I began my clinical research journey at the University of Arizona Cancer Center, where I advanced into program leadership for a 60+ trial GI oncology portfolio. My experience spans protocol development, team management, budget oversight, and close collaboration with academic institutions and pharmaceutical sponsors.Currently, I lead national early-phase oncology studies at Faeth Therapeutics, a startup biotech company, where I was promoted to Clinical Trial Manager in 2024. I thrive in fast-paced environments and specialize in bringing structure and clarity to complex trials—particularly during the planning and startup phases. I work across stakeholders including regulatory, medical monitoring, clinical data management, and external vendors to ensure execution is efficient, compliant, and patient-centered.My approach is shaped by the mindset of an academic institution and refined in the dynamic setting of biotech innovation.Specialties:Phase 1-3 Oncology TrialsStudy Startup & CloseoutIND, Non-IND Study Management, & IITVendor & Lab OversightProtocol & ICF DevelopmentTrial Budgeting & Timeline ManagementCross-Functional Team LeadershipTMF Compliance & Audit ReadinessPublications include contributions to Nature Medicine, ASCO, and Journal of Clinical Oncology.
