Code Biotherapeutics

Code Bio was founded on the belief that more can be done for people living with debilitating genetic diseases. We are driven by the potential of our transformative technology to treat the untreatable and cure the incurable. Code Bio is developing highly targeted genetic medicines with its proprietary, novel, multivalent, synthetic DNA delivery platform, 3DNA®, which has been engineered to overcome many of the challenges inherent with the delivery of genetic medicines. 3DNA offers unparalleled tissue and cell targeting specificity, improved bioavailability, capability to deliver large genetic payloads, potential ability to re-dose, and a scalable, modular, reproducible manufacturing process. Our 3DNA delivery platform is poised to transform the field of genetic medicines, enabling targeted delivery of gene therapy, RNAi and other genetic modalities. Currently we are advancing an internal pipeline of genetic medicines focused on select diseases without a cure (Duchenne`s Muscular Dystrophy and Type 1 Diabetes), as well as establishing partnerships to take forward programs in both rare and prevalent diseases.

Inovio

Inovio is a biotechnology company focused on rapidly bringing to market precisely designed DNA medicines to treat, cure, and protect people from diseases associated with HPV, cancer, and infectious diseases. Inovio is the first and only company to have clinically demonstrated that a DNA medicine can be delivered directly into cells in the body via a proprietary smart device to safely produce a robust immune response to destroy and clear high-risk HPV 16 and 18, which are responsible for 70% of cervical cancer, 90% of anal cancer and 69% of vulvar cancer. In addition to HPV, Inovio`s optimized plasmid design and delivery technology have been demonstrated to consistently activate robust and fully functional T cell and antibody responses against targeted cancers and pathogens. Inovio`s most advanced clinical program, VGX-3100, is in Phase 3 development for the treatment of HPV-related cervical pre-cancer. Also in development are Phase 2 immuno-oncology programs targeting HPV-related cancers, GBM, and prostate cancer, as well as externally funded vaccine development programs in Zika, MERS, Lassa, HIV, and COVID-19. Partners and collaborators include Advaccine, ApolloBio Corporation, AstraZeneca, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, GeneOne Life Science, HIV Vaccines Trial Network, Medical CBRN Defense Consortium (MCDC), National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Plumbline Life Sciences, Regeneron, Roche/Genentech, University of Pennsylvania, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, and The Wistar Institute.
