Genetronics Biomedical Corp. (GEB), a late-stage developer of cancer and other therapies using electroporation-enabled delivery of drugs, DNA vaccines, and genes, announced a study assessing the clinical utility of an electroporation-mediated method for delivering DNA in humans without anesthesia showed this method was safe and tolerable.

The results of this Investigational Review board-approved pilot study, which measured pain response in healthy volunteers using an electrical pulse suitable for DNA delivery using Genetronics' MedPulser DNA Delivery System, support electroporation as a potentially attractive DNA delivery method for use in humans to treat serious or life-threatening diseases.

The results were documented in a paper entitled "Assessment of the Pain Associated with Electroporation in Healthy Volunteers" and presented at the Gordon Research Conference on Bioelectrochemistry in July 2004.

"Genetronics has already shown that electroporation is safe and efficient for ...
