* New biomarker and immune data presented at the Society for Immunotherapy of
Cancer (SITC) 2025 Annual Meeting
* Following the recent presentation of unprecedented two-year clinical
efficacy data from the phase 2 trial, the new data further adds to EVX-01's
already strong data package
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, November 7, 2025 - Evaxion A/S (NASDAQ: EVAX) ("Evaxion"),
a clinical-stage TechBio company specializing in developing AI-Immunology(TM)
powered vaccines, announces new data exploring immune responses following
treatment with AI-designed personalized cancer vaccine EVX-01. The data was
presented today in a poster session at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer
(SITC) 2025 Annual Meeting taking place in National Harbor, Maryland.
Developed with Evaxion's AI-Immunology(TM) platform, EVX-01 is designed to target
multiple neoantigens - cancer unique proteins arising from mutations - and to
induce a clinically relevant immune response. The new biomarker and immune data
stems from the phase 2 trial evaluating EVX-01 in combination with MSD's (Merck
& Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA) anti-PD-1 therapy, KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) in
patients with advanced melanoma (skin cancer).
Longitudinal patient blood samples were collected before, during and after
treatment to unravel treatment-induced changes in specific immune cell
populations. More specifically, circulating T-cell subsets were characterized
aiming at increasing the understanding of the immune responses induced by EVX-
01. In subsets of analyzed patients, clinical responses were accompanied by a
rapid and sustained induction of EVX-01-specific T-cells.
"We are pleased with the opportunity to present these exploratory translational
data at a conference as important as SITC as we continue to add to EVX-01's
strong data package. Having presented the two-year clinical efficacy data from
the phase 2 trial just last month at the European Society for Medical Oncology
2025 congress, we are encouraged by the interest in EVX-01 from the medical
community", says Birgitte Rønø, CSO and interim CEO of Evaxion.
KEYTRUDA® is a registered trademark of Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC, a subsidiary of
Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA.
