Evaxion to present new data at AACR Annual Meeting
- Two abstracts accepted for presentation
- One abstract on new additional biomarker and immunogenicity data for personalized cancer vaccine EVX-01
- Another abstract on the use of Evaxion’s AI-Immunology™ platform in developing a personalized cancer vaccine strategy for glioblastoma (brain cancer)
- Evaxion will also participate in the AACR Oncology Industry Partnering event ahead of the annual meeting
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, March 17, 2026 - Evaxion A/S (NASDAQ: EVAX) (“Evaxion”), a clinical-stage TechBio company developing novel vaccines with its pioneering AI-Immunology™ platform, announces two abstracts accepted for presentation at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting taking place in San Diego, California, April 17-22, 2026.
One abstract will include new biomarker and immunogenicity data for cancer vaccine EVX-01. Designed with Evaxion’s AI-Immunology™ platform, EVX-01 is a personalized cancer vaccine currently being evaluated as a treatment for advanced melanoma (skin cancer).
The data stems from the phase 2 trial investigating EVX-01 in combination with MSD’s (Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA) anti-PD-1 therapy, KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) in patients with advanced melanoma. Each patient enrolled in the trial has received a unique vaccine designed and manufactured based on their individual biology. KEYTRUDA® is a registered trademark of Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC, a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA.
The other abstract includes data on the use of AI-Immunology™ to identify endogenous retrovirus (ERV)-derived neoantigens to include in personalized vaccines to treat glioblastoma, a deadly brain cancer, for which limited therapeutic options exist.
In line with our strategy to identify potential partners and opportunities for both business partnerships and scientific collaborations, we will also participate in the AACR Oncology Industry Partnering event taking place ahead of the annual meeting.
