Om mig
Principal Investigator (PI) for three clinical, academic-initiated studies; the Cogni-Thyr study (NCT05088187) and the upcoming MIMIR-mTNBC trial (EU CT 2022-500808-21-00, study start November 2022), as well as the terminated PREDIX II HER2 trial (NCT03894007).
Deputy-PI in the HER2-PET (EU CT 2022-000486-41) and Neo-ACT (NCT05184582) investigator-initiated trials. In addition, I coordinate a number of side-studies to already running and completed clinical trials, such as a cognition substudy to the OptiTrain clinical trial (NCT02522260) and a PET-scan substudy in the PREDIX HER2 trial (NCT02568839). I am local PI for other multicenter clinical trials, both academic as well as industry-initiated studies.
