ABBREVIATED CURRICULUM VITAE – DR PHILLIP ALTMAN

Dr Phillip Altman has expertise in the areas of clinical medical research and pharmaceutical drug regulatory affairs in Australia. For the past 4 years, he has shone a light on the many failures of Governments and regulators.

Holding the degrees Bachelor of Pharmacy (Hons), and Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy, Phillip’s doctorate concerned the development new of cardiotonic drugs with lower intrinsic toxicity, compared to existing drugs including their chemical synthesis and testing in various animal models.

Phillip has worked primarily within the Australian pharmaceutical industry since 1974 in relation to clinical trial design, management, and reporting in relation to obtaining new drug approvals, dealing with the Secretary of the Department of Health, and the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).

After many years working within multinational pharmaceutical companies, Phillip later became a senior industry pharmaceutical consultant through his contract research company, Pharmaco Pty Ltd., which provided both clinical trial and regulatory consultant services to the Australian pharmaceutical industry, which focussed his experience in critically evaluating clinical trial safety and efficacy data, as submitted in complex new drug dossiers for international regulatory purposes. This work saw Phillip consulted by more than half of the multinational pharmaceutical companies in Australia, in various capacities, with a focus on drug regulatory affairs.

Phillip founded the Association of Regulatory and Clinical Scientists (ARCS), which includes more than 2,000 scientists, clinicians, and associated health professionals involved in both clinical trial and regulatory affairs, in Australia and New Zealand, where ARCS continues to be the foremost educational forum for both industry and government (including the TGA) personnel, involved in clinical trials and regulatory affairs.

Phillip’s experience involves more than 100 clinical trials (covering Phases I,II, III and IV, i.e. from first administration to animals, then man, to post-approval trials), and a similar number of new drug applications, TGA appeals, and applications to modify existing approvals. In collaboration with the TGA and on behalf of pharmaceutical companies, Phillip also directed 2 major drug withdrawals in relation to public safety.

More recently Phillip has been a senior clinical trial and regulatory affairs advisor to an Australian company which has developed a live virus for the treatment of melanoma. His Substack is popular and a must read in these troubling times.
