Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has entered into a partnership with the AIDS Malignancy Consortium to evaluate VGX-3100 as a potential therapy for HIV-positive adult men and women.

The Plymouth Meeting-biopharmaceutical company is developing VGX-3100, an immunotherapy designed to boost the ability of person’s immune system to fight diseases, as a treatment for human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated precancerous conditions, writes John George at bizjournals.com.

The consortium is composed of 36 clinical trials sites worldwide, five working groups, an administrative office, a statistical office, and an operations and data management office.
