Tom Parke
Tom Parke is head of clinical trial solutions at Tessella and has been working at Tessella for over ten years. For a large part of that time he has been working on Adaptive Clinical Trial projects particularly with Dr Mike Krams and Don and Scott Berry at Berry Consultants.
Tom has helped implement numerous adaptive phase 2 dose finding trials that are now complete, for a range of pharmaceutical companies across a range of indications. For these trials, he managed the development of simulation tools, systems to support the running of the trials and the integration of adaptive algorithms with existing IVRS and EDC systems.
He is currently working on his 12th adaptive dose finding trial, and consulting with a number of companies to help them define the software systems they require to move adaptive clinical trials into their mainstream activities. Before working at Tessella, Tom had worked at Praxis (part of Deloitte & Touche) most notably managing projects for part of the air traffic control system at Heathrow Airport, and control software for imaging systems for GE Medical Systems and Varian Oncology.
