Forensic Clinical Auditor (PhD) | Oncology & Rare Disease Catalyst Risk | FDA "Red Team" Specialist

Profile Summary

Dr. Richmond T. Bergner is a forensic clinical auditor and biopharmaceutical strategist with 5 years of experience specializing in "Red Team" due diligence for institutional investors. Unlike generalist scientific consultants who provide high-level overviews, Dr. Bergner executes rigorous, negative-diligence audits to identify structural trial failures, regulatory disconnects, and statistical artifacts before they impact market capitalization. Dr. Bergner's objective is to move the investment thesis from the "Inside View" (management narrative) to the "Outside View" (statistical reality), providing a specific Probability of Success (PoS) vs. Market Implied Probability assessment. His proprietary diligence framework focuses on three core pillars of risk: - Statistical Forensics & "Kill Sheets": Auditing Kaplan-Meier curves for informative censoring imbalances and scrutinizing interim analyses for "p-hacking" or improper alpha spending functions. - Regulatory "Kill Factors": Evaluating assets against evolving FDA standards, specifically FDORA compliance for confirmatory trials and the realistic application of regulatory flexibility in single-arm rare disease studies. - Commercial Reality & SOC Drift: Modeling "Standard of Care Drift" to determine if a pipeline asset will be commercially obsolete upon launch due to competitor velocity or payer friction. Active Catalyst Coverage & Forensic Audits: Pharming Group (Leniolisib): PDUFA audit focusing on payer friction in rare immunology label expansion. Aquestive Therapeutics (Anaphylm): Regulatory precedent analysis regarding FDA posture toward non-injectable delivery systems. REGENXBIO (RGX-121): CMC (Manufacturing) risk assessment and "Commercial Readiness" audit for gene therapy site activation. Merck (Keytruda/Ovarian) & Lantheus (PDUFA) : Reference Class Forecasting and competitive moat analysis . Dr. Bergner is available for deep-dive consultations to stress-test investor conviction, identify "Bear Case" risks, and refine position sizing based on calculated risk/reward scenarios.
