- New preclinical data will guide antigen selection for a broadly protective cytomegalovirus vaccine candidate
- Poster presentation on July 12, 2026, at the International Herpesvirus Workshop 2026 taking place in Montreal, Canada
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, July 1, 2026 - Evaxion A/S (NASDAQ: EVAX) (“Evaxion”), a clinical-stage TechBio company developing novel vaccines with its pioneering AI-Immunology™ platform, will present new preclinical data for vaccine candidate EVX-V1 in a poster session at the International Herpesvirus Workshop (IHW) 2026 taking place in Montreal, Canada, July 11-15, 2026.
EVX-V1 is a next-generation, multi-component cytomegalovirus (CMV) vaccine candidate combining novel AI-discovered antigens with AI-optimized versions of established CMV vaccine antigens.
The new preclinical data will guide final antigen selection for a broadly protective CMV vaccine candidate as we progress the program according to plan.

About EVX-V1
EVX-V1 is a next-generation, multi-component cytomegalovirus (CMV) vaccine candidate combining novel AI-discovered antigens with AI-optimized versions of established CMV vaccine antigens. Through this combination, EVX-V1 attacks the virus from multiple, complementary angles. This broader multi-targeted strategy is expected to strengthen the protective potential of the vaccine.
With our AI-Immunology™ platform, we have uncovered novel antigens that are entirely new to the CMV vaccine research field. These previously unexplored CMV-antigens induce specific immune responses, inhibit viral infection and reduce cell-to-cell spread in cellular and animal viral infection models.
EVX-V1 is a combination of these antigens with our proprietary AI-optimized pre-fusion glycoprotein B (gB) antigen which has demonstrated superior performance compared to the traditional gB antigen, including enhanced CMV neutralization.
About CMV
About 1 in 200 babies is born with congenital CMV infection. About 1 in 5 babies with the infection will have congenital disabilities or other long-term health problems. CMV infects approximately
CMV treatment market size was valued at
CMV is the most complex of all herpes viruses and is a widespread infection transmitted in body fluids. Once infected, the virus stays for life. People with weakened immune systems, including organ transplant patients, can develop severe symptoms affecting, for example, eyes, lungs, and liver, and congenitally infected babies may suffer from intellectual disability and loss of vision and hearing.
