title: Taking electroporation-based delivery of DNA vaccination into humans: a generic clinical protocol.
abstract: We are presently aware of two early-phase DNA vaccine clinical trials in humans using electroporation-enhanced vaccine delivery. Moreover, two phase I immunogenetherapy studies are in progress and several tolerability studies have been performed on healthy volunteers. We have used knowledge from these studies to compose a template for clinical protocols involving electroporation-mediated gene delivery. In this template the emphasis will be on aspects related to electroporation. In addition, we will discuss general topics concerning electroporation-augmented DNA vaccination in human subjects.
