About the department

GTPI is responsible for a strategic allocation of patients coming from more than 40 countries where Novo Nordisk has presence with own local clinical staff. Early phase clinical trials studies are either handled by a CRO or by our own colleagues in the affiliates.

One of the things we have in common is a background in health care/science, and a strong engagement in how this diversity are strengthening our team and its deliverables.

The function GTPI is anchored in the area of Global Trial Portfolio within the Development organisation. In Development, we are responsible for managing clinical drug development worldwide from early development phases to product launch.
