Evaluation of Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity Study of GLS-6150 in Healthy Volunteers and in Persons Previously Treated for Hepatitis C Virus Infection

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an enveloped, single strand, positive sense RNA flavivirus. Infection by HCV is typically chronic, although an estimated \~10-20% may spontaneously clear the virus. HCV affects between 1.3 - 2 billion individuals, or 2-3% of the global population. HCV has a seroprevalence of approximately 1% in developed countries such as the US and Korea. Chronic HCV infection leads to hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis. This Phase I study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of GLS-6150 administered intradermally (ID) followed by electroporation at 1.0 mg and 2.0 mg/dose assessing 3 and 4-dose regimens.
