INO-4800 COVID-19 Vaccine 2022

INO-4800 is a DNA vaccine candidate matched to the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19 in humans. The INO-4800 vaccine contains the plasmid pGX9501, which encodes for the entire length of the Spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2. INO-4800 is a nucleic-acid-based vaccine found stable at room temperature for more than a year and does not require frozen transport or years of storage, which are essential factors when implementing mass immunizations to battle the current pandemic, says INOVIO.

Inovio's proprietary platform hand-held smart device called CELLECTRA® leads the way forward for activation immunotherapy. CELLECTRA uses a brief electrical pulse to open small pores in the cell reversibly to allow the plasmids to enter. This one-of-a-kind platform delivers optimized DNA into cells, translated into proteins that activate an individual's immune system to generate a robust, targeted T cell and antibody response. Once inside the cell, the plasmids begin replicating, strengthening the body's own natural response mechanisms.

INOVIO's DNA medicine platform's advantages are how fast DNA medicines can be designed and manufactured, the stability of the products that do not require freezing in storage and transport, and the robust immune response, safety profile, and tolerability demonstrated in clinical trials. In addition, Inovio aims to significantly expand the therapeutic range of monoclonal antibodies with its DNA-encoded monoclonal antibody technology. With dMAb, Inovio encodes DNA to express a monoclonal antibody. Injection of the DNA plasmid into a patient generates robust in vivo monoclonal antibody production. Thus, this approach has the potential to develop in vivo production of therapeutic antibodies. 

DNA medicines are composed of optimized DNA plasmids, small circles of double-stranded DNA synthesized or reorganized by a computer sequencing technology designed to produce a specific immune response in the body. INOVIO states, 'DNA medicines do not interfere with or change an individual's DNA.' Inovio clinical trials for INO-4800 are listed here. 

INOVIO announced on May 10, 2022, the prioritization of heterologous booster strategy for COVID-19 vaccine candidate INO-4800 and the discontinuation of Phase 3 INNOVATE trial. The company affirmed this strategy on August 9, 2022. On October 27, 2022, NOVIO announced that it had discontinued its internally funded efforts to develop INO-4800 as a COVID-19 heterologous booster vaccine. 

Plymouth Meeting, PA-based INOVIO (NASDAQ: INO), is a biotechnology company focused on rapidly bringing to market precisely designed DNA medicines to protect and treat people from infectious diseases. INOVIO's DNA medicines are transient and do not interfere with or change an individual's DNA.

INO-4800 History

Published in Nature Communications on May 20, 2020, a new report focuses on immune studies in animals, which show induction of functional antibody responses and T-cell responses following immunization. This preliminary dataset identifies INO-4800 as a potential COVID-19 vaccine candidate, supporting the further translational study.

On July 29, 2020, bioRxiv published a non-peer-reviewed study that showed INO-4800 reduced viral load in both the lower lungs and nasal passages in macaques that received two doses of INO-4800 (1 mg) four weeks apart and then was challenged with the live virus 13-weeks after the second dose (study week 17).

On October 8, 2020, npj Vaccines published an article titled "Experimental and in silico evidence suggests vaccines are unlikely to be affected by D614G mutation in SARS-CoV-2 spike protein." Researchers at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), Australia's national science research agency, and INOVIO reported that INO-4800 vaccination in a preclinical model was able to neutralize SARS-CoV-2 viruses with 'D614G' mutation (Aspartate-to-Glycine change at position 614) of the spike protein, which has become the dominant variant in the global COVID-19 pandemic.

On November 14, 2020, the Company stated the planned Phase 2/3 clinical trial, called INNOVATE, is a randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled safety and efficacy trial of INO-4800 conducted in adults in the U.S. The INNOVATE trial will be funded by the U.S. Department of Defense Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense in coordination with the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs and the Defense Health Agency.

The Lancet published a paper on December 23, 2020 that concluded 'INO-4800 demonstrated excellent safety and tolerability and was immunogenic in 100% (38/38) of the vaccinated subjects by eliciting either or both humoral or cellular immune responses.'

INOVIO announced on January 4, 2021, that it entered into a collaboration and license agreement for INO-4800 with Advaccine, who will have the exclusive right to develop, manufacture, and commercialize INO-4800 within Greater China, which includes Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan. In addition, Advaccine will license its plasmid manufacturing process for use with INO-4800 and other INOVIO pipeline product candidates to INOVIO with the right to sublicense to INOVIO's manufacturing partners.

On April 14, 2021, the study entitled "INO-4800 DNA Vaccine Induces Neutralizing Antibodies and T cell Activity Against Global SARS-CoV-2 Variants" was submitted for peer review.

INO-4800 Indication

INO-4800 is a DNA vaccine candidate designed to prevent the SARS-CoV-2 betacoronavirus from infecting humans, which causes COVID-19.

INO-4800 Dosage

The Phase 2 segment of the trial is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of INO-4800 in a 2-dose regimen (1.0 mg or 2.0 mg), in 3-to-1 randomization to receive either INO-4800 or placebo for each dose to confirm the more appropriate amount (s) for each of three age groups with high risks of infection (18-50 years, 51-64 years and 65 years and older) for the subsequent Phase 3 efficacy evaluation. The Company reported that both 1.0 mg and 2.0 mg dose groups demonstrated seroconversion in 95% of the subjects, with 78% showing neutralizing antibodies in the 1.0 mg dose group and 84% showing neutralizing antibodies in the 2.0 mg dose group.

INO-4802 Candidate

On May 12, 2021, the Company announced that its next-generation Pan-COVID-19 vaccine candidate, INO-4802, induced potent neutralizing antibodies and T cell responses against the original Wuhan strain as well as against B.1.1.7 (U.K. variant), B.1.351 (South African variant), and P.1. (Brazilian variant) in preclinical models. These results demonstrate the potential of INOVIO's Pan-COVID-19 vaccine to induce cross-reactive immune responses against current and emerging viral variants as either a first-line vaccine or potentially as a boost for individuals previously immunized with various Wuhan-matched vaccines. INOVIO will analyze the preclinical samples from INO-4802 to assess the immune responses against the Omicron variant.
