Overview
PENNVAX-G is a DNA vaccine candidate developed by Inovio Pharmaceuticals in collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania for the prevention of HIV-1 infection. It is a multi-clade, multi-antigen vaccine designed using Inovio's SynCon technology to target HIV-1 clades A, C, and D. The vaccine consists of four DNA plasmids encoding synthetic consensus Env and Gag proteins. PENNVAX-G is typically administered via intramuscular injection, often enhanced by electroporation using the CELLECTRA device or delivered via the Biojector 2000 needle-free system to improve cellular uptake and immunogenicity. In clinical trials, such as the Phase I RV262 study, it has been evaluated as a prime in a heterologous prime-boost regimen followed by a viral vector boost, such as MVA-CMDR.
