FITCI (Frederick Innovative Technology Center, Inc.) proudly welcomes PRONAV Clinical, an internationally acclaimed early-phase clinical trial supply partner headquartered in Ireland, to its vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem in partnership with Maryland’s Global Gateway Soft Landing Program. The move marks PRONAV Clinical’s further expansion into the U.S. market, underscoring its commitment to accelerating the supply of innovative therapeutics to clinical trials – and the patients they ultimately serve – worldwide.
Founded in 2019 by industry veteran Jim Kernan, PRONAV Clinical has risen rapidly as a trusted “boutique” service provider catering to the unique needs of small and medium-sized biotech and pharmaceutical companies. Known for its nimbleness, precision, and attention to detail, PRONAV Clinical bridges critical gaps in the clinical trial supply chain, ensuring emerging innovators bring life-saving treatments to patients who need them most.
“PRONAV Clinical was built to give smaller companies the personal attention they often can’t get from larger supply organizations,” said Kernan, noting the unique challenges associated with advancing the treatment of rare diseases. “We’re excited to join FITCI’s dynamic community, where collaboration opportunities with fellow members, like Mesa Science Associates, allow us to offer a seamless, ‘one-stop shop’ solutions for companies navigating the drug development and clinical trial supply process.” Together, the companies aim to provide a comprehensive range of complimentary services that enhances their clients’ drug development and clinical supply experience.
FITCI CEO Kathie Callahan Brady celebrated PRONAV Clinical’s arrival this fall, stating, “Attracting international businesses like PRONAV Clinical strengthens our local economy and broadens the resources available to our business community. This diversity enriches the entrepreneurial ecosystem and boosts the viability of Frederick, and Maryland, as a global hub for life sciences innovation.”
With a stellar 99.3% on-time delivery rate and a client-first approach, PRONAV Clinical has already achieved profitability and sustained growth, expanding organically to date within its network. The company anticipates increasing its annual revenue by 150% within the next 24 months. The strategic entry into Maryland’s thriving biotech corridor is a natural step for PRONAV Clinical, given the region’s robust infrastructure and leadership in life sciences.
As part of FITCI and the Global Gateway Soft Landing Program, PRONAV Clinical gains access to invaluable resources, advisory services, and funding opportunities, ensuring a strong foundation for its U.S. operations. The company’s move reinforces FITCI’s mission to support emerging entrepreneurs with the tools and connections needed to succeed on a global scale.
