INO-4500 ...Study Participants
60This is a randomized and double-blinded within study group, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunological profile of INO-4500 administered by intradermal (ID) injection followed by electroporation using the CELLECTRA® 2000 device in healthy adult volunteers.
INO-4500 will be administered ID on Day 0 and Week 4.
Placebo will be administered ID on Day 0 and Week 4.
EP using the CELLECTRA® 2000 device will be administered following ID drug administration.
Participants will receive 1 ID injection of 1 mg/dose INO-4500 followed by EP using the CELLECTRA® 2000 device
Participants will receive 1 ID injection of 1 mg/dose placebo followed by EP using the CELLECTRA® 2000 device
Participants will receive 2 ID injections of 1 mg/dose INO-4500 followed by EP using the CELLECTRA® 2000 device
Participants will receive 2 ID injections of 1 mg/dose placebo followed by EP using the CELLECTRA® 2000 device
