Erin Marinela Saceda

I am a Clinical Research Associate focused on high-quality monitoring and patient safety across Phase II and Phase III vaccine trials. As a CRA, I monitor trial sites to ensure adherence to Good Clinical Practice (GCP), ICH guidelines, and ethical standards, and I review safety reports so they are accurately documented and submitted to regulatory authorities and ethics committees on time.

I serve as the primary contact between sponsors and clinical trial site staff, building strong working relationships with investigators, site coordinators, and fellow CRAs to keep trial operations running smoothly. I ensure essential documents are maintained and properly filed in the trial master file, oversee site operations (including efficient management of investigational supplies and timely payment processing), and provide continuous guidance to support site compliance.

I also bring on-site start-up and operational readiness experience, including coordinating ethics committee submissions and supporting regulatory document preparation, as well as assisting with budget negotiations and finalizing clinical trial agreements (CTAs). Earlier in my career, I supported vaccine clinical research at Philippine General Hospital—guiding participants through trial processes, collecting demographics and vital signs, handling weekly participant updates, managing cold chain integrity, preparing vaccines for administration, and reporting daily vaccinations to WHO—complemented by my Doctor of Pharmacy degree (Magna Cum Laude).
