About INOVIO
INOVIO is a biotechnology company focused on rapidly bringing to
market precisely designed DNA medicines to treat and protect people
from infectious diseases, cancer, and diseases associated with HPV.
INOVIO is the first and only company to have clinically
demonstrated that a DNA medicine can be delivered directly into
cells in the body via a proprietary smart device to produce a
robust and tolerable immune response. Specifically, INOVIO's lead
candidate VGX-3100 is the first DNA medicine to achieve efficacy
endpoints in a Phase 3 clinical trial, REVEAL 1, for the treatment
of precancerous cervical dysplasia caused by HPV-16 and/or HPV-18.
VGX-3100 also demonstrated positive Phase 2 efficacy results in
separate trials evaluating the treatment of precancerous vulvar
dysplasia and anal dysplasia. Also in development are programs
targeting HPV-related cancers and a rare HPV-related disease,
recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP); non-HPV-related cancers
glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and prostate cancer; as well as
externally funded infectious disease DNA vaccine development
programs in Zika, Lassa fever, Ebola, HIV, and coronaviruses
associated with MERS and COVID-19 diseases. Partners and
collaborators include Advaccine, ApolloBio Corporation,
AstraZeneca, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Coalition for
Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency (DARPA)/Joint Program Executive Office for
Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense
(JPEO-CBRND)/Department of Defense (DoD), HIV Vaccines Trial

This press release contains certain forward-looking
statements relating to our business, including our plans to develop
and commercialize DNA medicines, our expectations regarding our
research and development programs, including the planned initiation
and conduct of preclinical studies and clinical trials and the
availability and timing of data from those studies and trials, and
our ability to successfully manufacture and produce large
quantities of our product candidates if they receive regulatory
approval. Actual events or results may differ from the expectations
set forth herein as a result of a number of factors, including
uncertainties inherent in pre-clinical studies, clinical trials,
product development programs and commercialization activities and
outcomes, our ability to secure sufficient manufacturing capacity
to mass produce our product candidates, the availability of funding
to support continuing research and studies in an effort to prove
safety and efficacy of electroporation technology as a delivery
mechanism or develop viable DNA medicines, our ability to support
our pipeline of DNA medicine products, the ability of our
collaborators to attain development and commercial milestones for
products we license and product sales that will enable us to
receive future payments and royalties, the adequacy of our capital
resources, the availability or potential availability of
alternative therapies or treatments for the conditions targeted by
us or collaborators, including alternatives that may be more
efficacious or cost effective than any therapy or treatment that we
and our collaborators hope to develop, issues involving product
liability, issues involving patents and whether they or licenses to
them will provide us with meaningful protection from others using
the covered technologies, whether such proprietary rights are
enforceable or defensible or infringe or allegedly infringe on
rights of others or can withstand claims of invalidity and whether
we can finance or devote other significant resources that may be
necessary to prosecute, protect or defend them, the level of
corporate expenditures, assessments of our technology by potential
corporate or other partners or collaborators, capital market
conditions, the impact of government healthcare proposals and other
factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2020 and other
filings we make from time to time with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. There can be no assurance that any product candidate in
our pipeline will be successfully developed, manufactured or
commercialized, that final results of clinical trials will be
supportive of regulatory approvals required to market products, or
that any of the forward-looking information provided herein will be
proven accurate. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the
date of this release, and we undertake no obligation to update or
revise these statements, except as may be required by law.
