- The collaboration initiative to move drug candidates forward
Introduction What are we offering? How? Why apply? Terms
Background For grant applications and to attract venture capital start-up companies increasingly have to support their product potential by essential documentation such as Target Product Profile, risk/gap analysis and drug development strategy (plan). For many of these companies building a product value proposition is a challenge and budget for generating such documentation is often lacking or limited. The Alliance4U initiative will help you to break this circle and build your value story by bridging financial and other business challenges. It may improve your success rate to obtain grants and to attract venture capital. If successful, Kinesis is looking forward to collaborate with you on the next step, the further development of your drug candidate.
What are we offering? Three types of incentives: Target Product Profile. The ideal version of what the company would like to claim in its marketed drug label. Includes defining the design goals for a product, overall intented drug development program/studies. Such TPP can be used in dialogue with authorities. Gap analysis. Includes technical assessment of early stage projects (review of available data), identification of gaps and important risks by experts from CMC, non-clinical, clinical and regulatory department. Drug Development Plan. Includes the minimal required non-clinical and clinical studies, drug formulation requirements, regulatory requirements, timelines, risks and costs that are associated with the development of the product up to a certain milestone.
