2013: Dynamic Year • Best T cell responses in published clinical studies • Validating license deal with Roche in 2013

2014: Transformative Year

• Phase II meets efficacy endpoints: breakthrough for active immunotherapy field

• More cancer trials starting (cervical, head & neck, prostate, breast, lung, pancreatic cancers)

• Working toward additional pharma partnerships

Checkpoint Inhibitors: T Cell Validation; Combination Potential

• Inovio cancer vaccines greatly increase T cells

• Potential to overwhelm cancer cells as monotherapy

• Potential to combine with checkpoint inhibitors to increase efficacy

• Unprecedented efficacy • Melanoma, lung cancer

• Validate potential to enhance T

cell capabilities

• Evidence suggests non-responders do not have sufficient pre-existing T cells

• Projected $24 billion market (Citi)
