Inovio receives FDA accelerated approval for VOCERYQ and raises $80.5 million

Inovio Pharmaceuticals announced that the FDA granted accelerated approval to VOCERYQ, a DNA‑based therapy for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, on October 30 2026. The company expects to begin shipping the product within about 60 days and to complete a full commercial launch in the first quarter of 2027. To fund the rollout, Inovio completed a public offering that generated net proceeds of $80.5 million.

The offering provides the cash needed to support VOCERYQ’s market entry, which the company says will enable a transition to a commercial‑stage business. The cash balance of $48.4 million and the new capital extend the firm’s runway into late Q4 2027, giving investors a clearer timeline for potential revenue generation.
