INOVIO to Present at Hemophilia Conference

The biotech company will showcase its DNA-based protein replacement therapy at the World Federation of Hemophilia World Congress.

Apr. 2, 2026 at 6:35am

INOVIO, a Pennsylvania-based biotechnology company focused on developing DNA medicines, announced that it will participate in the upcoming World Federation of Hemophilia World Congress in Kuala Lumpur. The company will present on its DNA-Encoded Protein (DPROT) technology, which has demonstrated the ability to produce functional Factor VIII protein in mouse models of hemophilia A.

Why it matters

INOVIO's DPROT platform represents a potential non-viral, gene-based approach to treating hemophilia, a rare genetic disorder characterized by excessive bleeding. If successful, this technology could provide an alternative to traditional protein replacement therapies, which require frequent intravenous infusions.

The details

At the conference, INOVIO will give a presentation on its DPROT technology and its ability to express Factor VIII protein in vivo. The company will also present a poster detailing the results of its studies in hemophilia A mouse models, which showed that the DPROT platform was able to produce efficacious levels of Factor VIII and correct the bleeding phenotype.

  • The World Federation of Hemophilia World Congress will take place from April 20-24, 2026 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
  • INOVIO's presentation is scheduled for Wednesday, April 22 at 9:45 AM MYT.
  • INOVIO's poster presentation is also scheduled for Wednesday, April 22 at 10:45 AM MYT.
