@maeganmcfarland

I manage global clinical trials, vendors, budgets, and patient recruitment across pharma and CROs.

I've managed clinical studies and vendor partnerships at AbbVie, Syneos Health, Medidata Solutions, and PCM Trials, supporting Phase I–III programs across neuroscience, aesthetics, oncology, rare disease, ophthalmology, and pediatrics.

At AbbVie, I manage central lab, recruitment, and imaging vendors; lead study-site selection tools; develop training; and mentor colleagues. I also supported Tavapadon IP reconciliation efforts for the September 2025 NDA submission.

Across my career, I've delivered studies within scope, timeline, and budget while strengthening recruitment and retention, TMF readiness, regulatory documentation, risk management, and cross-functional communication.
