Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is focused on the discovery, development, and delivery of a new generation of vaccines, called DNA vaccines, to prevent or treat cancers and chronic infectious diseases. This next generation of immunotherapies could potentially protect millions of people from debilitation or death from diseases without adequate treatments.

DNA vaccines have great potential, but two broad challenges must be overcome to achieve development success. First, scientists must further refine immune system targets in order to design DNA vaccines able to induce clinically relevant immune responses. Second, they must improve DNA delivery capabilities to overcome safety and efficacy limitations common to most existing delivery technologies. Inovio's intellectual property, comprised of the knowledge and expertise of its people, its vaccine design and development processes as well as DNA delivery devices, and its patents, positions the company to potentially overcome these challenges and achieve new clinical breakthroughs.

Its SynCon vaccines are designed to provide broad cross-strain protection against known as well as newly emergent unmatched strains of pathogens such as influenza.

These synthetic vaccines, in combination with Inovio's proprietary electroporation delivery, have been shown to generate positive immune responses, along with a favourable safety profile.

Inovio's clinical programs include phase II studies for cervical dysplasia (pre-cancerous lesions), leukemia and the hepatitis C virus, as well as phase I studies for influenza and HIV.
