Inovio Ends Enrollment In Vulvar Dysplasia Study On VGX-3100
Zacks Investment Research | Jul 08, 2019 09:54PM ET
Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:INO) announced that it has completed enrollment in a phase II study, evaluating its investigational HPV immunotherapy — VGX-3100 — for the treatment of vulvar dysplasia caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). The study will assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of VGX-3100 in 33 women with high-grade HPV-related vulvar lesions.
The primary endpoint will measure the histologic clearance of high-grade lesions and virologic clearance of the HPV virus in vulvar tissue samples. Interim data from this study is expected before the end of 2019.
Notably, surgery is the most common form of treatment for women with HPV-related vulvar lesions as there are no FDA approved non-surgical options currently available. If granted a nod, Inovio will be able to address this unmet medical need by providing a non-surgical alternative as the disease often recurs in patients, who undergo surgery.
