INFANT MORTALITY RATE

WORLDWIDE LIFE EXPECTANCY

• Reduced child mortality

• Increased life span

• Protected billions from sickness and death

Page 11: Inovio aug13 presentation

11

Extending the Legacy

• Concept of stimulating immune system as relevant today as ever

• Can we create 21st century technology to fight today’s cancers & challenging infectious diseases?

• Yes!

How do we Revolutionize Vaccines?

12

Page 13: Inovio aug13 presentation

Immune Stimulation in the 21st Century

13

• Synthetic • Not a

weakened, killed, or part of a virus

• Therapeutic

• Not preventive only

• Universal

• Not protective against only a single, matched strain

Page 14: Inovio aug13 presentation

14

Inovio’s Synthetic DNA Vaccines

• Contain DNA code for target disease antigen(s)

• Body produces antigen

• Cannot replicate

• Closest to body’s natural

immune response

• Preventive antibodies • Therapeutic T-cells

• Formulated in water • Stable at room temp

Immune response to last century conventional vaccine

antibodies

Immune response to 21st century DNA vaccine

T-cells

antibodies

Page 15: Inovio aug13 presentation

15

Novel Consensus Design

• Use gene sequences from multiple strains or types of target disease antigen

• Create new antigen DNA

sequence to help the body recognize: • “Self” made cancer

cells

• Break tolerance

• Similar but unmatched strains

• Universal, cross-strain protection

• Novel DNA sequences

patentable

Differentiate cancer cells from “self”

Multi-strain protection within Pathogen families

New synthetic consensus sequence

Multiple unique strains

Break Tolerance Universal Protection

Page 16: Inovio aug13 presentation

Efficient DNA Vaccine Manufacturing

16

• DNA plasmid production

• Bacterial fermentation process

• Efficient, fast, cost effective, scalable

Page 17: Inovio aug13 presentation

DNA Delivery: Electroporation

Electric fields applied Vaccine injection

• Overcome two decade hurdle of DNA delivery

• Millisecond electric pulses create pores in cells

• Increase vaccine

uptake 1000X

• Enables cells to produce target antigen

• Widest and deepest global patent estate

17

Cellular vaccine uptake Cell produces coded antigen

Raising the Bar: Best in Class Immune Responses

Page 19: Inovio aug13 presentation

Functional T-Cell Responses

• Highest magnitude of T-cell responses

• 83% response rate in highest dose group

• 92% of responders showed 9 month durability

• 91% of responders showed killing effect against target cells

• HIV study: 89% response rate with robust T-cells

19

Page 20: Inovio aug13 presentation

Universal Immune Responses

20

• Protective HAI titers in humans against 9 unmatched strains of H1N1 flu from last 100 years

• Strong HAI titers in humans against 6 unmatched strains of deadly H5N1 flu

• Protection against

newly emergent, pandemic-potential H7N9 influenza in mice challenge study

Conventional vaccine: single matched strain only

DNA vaccine: multiple unmatched strains
