FDA Review For INO-3107

In December 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration accepted Inovio’s Biologics License Application (BLA) for INO-3107 but raised concerns tied to the accelerated approval pathway.

The biotechnology company focused on developing and commercializing DNA medicines said that the FDA accepted the company's BLA for INO-3107 for review as a potential treatment for adults with Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis (RRP). The review classification designated by the FDA is Standard.

RRP is a rare, benign (noncancerous) disease caused by the Human Papillomavirus, leading to wart-like tumors in the respiratory tract, most commonly the larynx (voice box).

INO Stock Price Activity: Inovio Pharmaceuticals shares were down 0.88% at $1.12 during premarket trading on Tuesday, according to Benzinga Pro data.
