Kenox Pharmaceuticals expands capabilities to strengthen drug development offerings

Princeton-based Kenox Pharmaceuticals on Tuesday said it is adding small scale non-sterile GMP capabilities to support GLP pre-clinical studies to its comprehensive suite of drug development services.

The expansion underscores Kenox’s commitment to accelerating the journey from molecule to clinic, providing its partners with the tools and expertise needed to bring life-changing therapies to market faster.

Kenox specializes in pharmaceutical aerosol product development including soft mist inhalers, pressurized metered dose inhalers, dry powder inhalers, nebulizers, nasal sprays and ophthalmic products.

The new expansion includes clean room for compounding, fill-finish and release of non-sterile nasal sprays, and dry powders. Additionally, Kenox is working on further expansion to enable small scale GMP batch manufacturing for clinical trials (Phase I and II) of both non-sterile and sterile OINDPs.

These new capabilities will streamline and de-risk the early stages of drug development for Kenox partners/clients thereby providing a one-stop-shop from the molecule to the clinic.

“I’m so excited about this expansion which was executed in a timely manner. This would not have been possible without our talented and capable team, rockstar QA, support from our partners/clients, various vendors, and the facility management,” Sitaram Velaga, founder, president and CEO at Kenox Pharmaceuticals said. “This expansion reflects our dedication to support our partners in their mission to develop cutting edge therapeutics for unmet medical needs with meticulous attention to quality, efficiency, project goals, and timelines.”
