About Kinexum
Kinexum / n. [Kine, Gr, motion, energy; Nexum var. nexus, L, tying together, connecting]
1. The connection of important components of health product discovery, development, and market integration.
2. The energy and effective motion resulting from a culture of trust, openness, collaboration, and innovation.
Since 2003, Kinexum has supported efficient translational research, providing multidisciplinary assistance in the management and execution of clinical development programs. We help clients through pre-clinical, clinical, and CMC development and regulatory processes worldwide. Kinexum has experience with products across a broad set of modalities and therapeutic areas.
Clients retain Kinexum as a life science consulting firm because we view product development not as an end in itself but as a means to help patients and create value for the sponsor. Our flexible structure allows us to act as an extension of a client’s team. Our subject matter experts carefully and efficiently produce crisp, clear, accurate, actionable, and valuable deliverables.
Harpers Ferry, WV, where Kinexum is headquartered, about 75 minutes drive from the FDA.
Kinexum Pillars
- Consistently satisfy our clients by delivering results on time, in budget, and with collegiality and professionalism,
- Provide professional fulfillment and ongoing opportunities for education to those who work with us,
- Contribute regularly to the sciences of health product discovery and development.
We do these "the Kinexum Way," based on values such as:
We adopt a “growth mindset.” We consistently and objectively evaluate and improve our work and keep abreast of new regulatory and technological developments, while still relying on our extensive clinical experience.
We take responsibility for improving suboptimal work in order to completely fulfill client needs.
No matter the effort that we put into a project, we assess the outcome based on the value contributed to the client. We strive to satisfy our clients with the quality, speed, and cost of our work.
While the client is not “always right,” we recognize that they have final say and work to realize their vision in an ethical and legal manner.
We provide crisp, clear, accurate, practical advice that our clients can easily apply to their development programs. If needed, we provide clarification and revision to ensure that our client understands, can implement, and is comfortable with our advice.
We pride ourselves on “pulling rabbits out of the hat: to provide useful outcomes for clients. At the same time, we are not unbridled advocates for clients; we have a hard-earned reputation as solid, straight-shooting, data-driven advocates for the development of safe and effective products. Our ultimate responsibility is to patients.
We take a collaborative approach that incorporates the diverse perspectives and experiences of our colleagues. While all of our consultants are highly knowledgeable, we identify the experts best suited for each project and client.
We value the community and support of our Kinexum colleagues. We foster an environment of professional respect and courtesy internally and with clients, vendors, regulators, and others.
We understand that obtaining a given regulatory result is not an end but a means to help patients and create value for our clients. We act as an extension of a client’s management team, using our expert knowledge to help that client improve upon and realize their broader corporate strategy.
We are motivated by a sense of urgency and apply “speedquality” to all of our projects.
Speedquality does not sacrifice quality for speed but rather removes needless delay so that projects proceed as quickly as possible. It was coined by the late Leigh Thompson, M.D., Ph.D., former Eli Lilly CSO, who used to stress that for a needed drug, every day of delay costs lives, and for a blockbuster drug, millions in revenue.
Our consultants are experienced and efficient, allowing us to provide expert, valuable guidance and documentation for our clients in a timely and cost-effective manner.
We err on the side of regular and frequent communication to ensure that clients are kept up to date and our subject matter experts collaborate smoothly. As needed, we provide clients with the opportunity to provide feedback on our work.
We keep client information confidential. We do not use it for personal advantage or the advantage of others (except for the client themselves). This includes no insider trading or private company equivalent.
Our consultants uphold duty of integrity (doing the right thing), duty of care (competence), and duty of loyalty (to Kinexum and the client, within bounds of law and ethics). We honor the Kinexum brand and our reputation with the FDA, other regulatory agencies, and third parties.
We do not discriminate on basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, marital status, gender or sexual preference. We believe diversity to be a source of strength and creativity. We do not tolerate harassment (sexual or otherwise), bullying, or intimidating behavior.
We aspire to treat everyone with kindness, respect, and courtesy.
