Afoke Kokogho Clinical Research Physician

• Email:kokoghoafoke@yahoo.com
• Department:Clinical trials and epidemiology
• University:Global Clinical Research Scholar at the Harvard Medical School
• Country:United States Army Medical Research Directorate Africa- Nigeria

Biography:

Dr. Afoke Kokogho is a Clinical Research Physician with the United States Army Medical Research Directorate Africa- Nigeria with advanced expertise and broad experience with infectious disease clinical research. He is currently a Global Clinical Research Scholar at the Harvard Medical School, pursuing a fellowship that provides further advanced training in clinical trials and epidemiology. He is focused on the conduct, design, and implementation of clinical trials, epidemiological studies, biostatistics, bio-surveillance, and biosecurity in the context of emerging infectious diseases across West Africa. He holds a master's in public health from the University of Roehampton London and a degree in Medicine and Surgery from Delta state university Nigeria, amongst other training and certifications. As principal investigator and associate investigator, he successfully executed a number of multi-country vaccine trials viz., Ebola vaccine trials with pharmaceuticals like GSK and Johnson & Johnson during and after the last Ebola outbreak in Nigeria. He has also led and participated in the execution of a number of NIH (The National Institutes of Health) approved cohort studies involving HIV and Key populations geared towards developing an effective HIV vaccine, which yielded excellent publications in Peer-reviewed journals.

• Successful Completion as the Principal investigator of the RV368 Trust Study (cohort), which focuses on HIV and STI prevalence, incidence and risk behaviors among MSM in Nigeria and impact of providing HIV medical and prevention services to Nigerian MSM at a Trusted Community Centre. This study was conducted over a period of five (5) years. • Exceeded enrolment targets and full implementation of the RV 429 protocol the successful implementation of the GSK sponsored multi-country Ebola vaccine trials - RV 429 (Safety And Immunogenicity Study Of GSK Biologicals’ Investigational Recombinant Chimpanzee Adenovirus Type 3-Vectored Ebola Zaire Vaccine (Chad3-EBO-Z) (GSK33901107A) In Adults In Africa) Protocol as an Associate investigator and study coordinator. With an Award of a Top performing site. • As principal Investigator for the Nigerian site, my team successfully implemented the Jansen and Jansen sponsored multi-country Ebola vaccine trial -RV 456 (A Randomized, Observer-blind, Placebo-controlled, Two-part, Phase 2 Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Immunogenicity of Two Prime-boost Regimens of the Candidate Prophylactic Vaccines for Ebola Ad26.ZEBOV and MVA-BN-Filo). My team laid the groundwork for developing an effective recruitment strategy that has led to a sustained retention rate of above 95% since initiation of vaccine trials across all studies at the Nigerian site. Based on very high expectations and the need to deliver quality research, my team developed a site quality plan used for ensuring strict compliance to good clinical practice, which has been used as templates across other research sites. In addition, I have successfully managed staffing, supported compliance with regulatory bodies and executed study budgets precisely on projects that have led to publication of papers in peer reviewed journals. Assembling a strong team with a realistic plan, time and budget has been instrumental to my success as an investigator.
