His experience spans from the conception of a clinical program to the execution, NDA submission and approval. At Novartis, Victor led and oversaw several major global clinical development programs and completed a total of 9 NDA or sNDA submissions/approvals for multiple drugs/indications. Two landmark trials that Victor led (Entresto in patients with heart failure, and Lotrel in patients with hypertension and high CV risks) were stopped early on the strength of results of overwhelming efficacy. The results from these two trials have fundamentally changed the way how physicians worldwide treat heart failure and hypertension patients, respectively. Victor was instrumental (as co-architect) in the success of the entire Entresto development program from innovative study design to execution.
