Evaxion Biotech announced positive feedback from an International Preliminary Report on Patentability (IPRP) for its AI-based method to identify novel cancer vaccine targets. This patent application (PCT/EP2022/086444) involves a unique approach to recognizing tumor vaccine targets derived from Endogenous Retroviruses (ERVs) using their proprietary AI-Immunology™ platform.
The feedback underscores the novelty and inventiveness of Evaxion's claims, enhancing the company's position in the personalized cancer vaccine field. The endorsement by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) confirms the patent's promising prospects. CEO Christian Kanstrup emphasized the importance of this validation in advancing Evaxion's innovative cancer treatments and strengthening their intellectual property portfolio as part of a multi-partner strategy.
Evaxion has published Phase 1 study data for its AI-designed personalized cancer vaccine, EVX-01, in the Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer. The study showed a 67% objective response rate (ORR) in patients with metastatic melanoma, with eight out of 12 patients showing clinical responses — six partial and two complete. EVX-01, co-administered with anti-PD-1 therapy, did not cause serious vaccine-related adverse events. The results validate the precision of Evaxion's AI-Immunology™ platform.
Phase 2 of the EVX-01 program is underway, with 71% of administered neoantigens inducing specific T-cell responses, as presented at ASCO. The one-year efficacy readout is expected in Q3 2024. CEO Christian Kanstrup expressed optimism about these promising results.
Evaxion Biotech presented promising data from their Phase 2 trial of the AI-designed cancer vaccine, EVX-01, at the ASCO Annual Meeting 2024. The vaccine, targeting neoantigens in metastatic melanoma patients, showed a specific immune response in all participants. Key findings include a 71% neoantigen-triggered T-cell response, involvement of both CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells, and no significant safety concerns. The data further validate Evaxion’s AI-Immunology™ platform's precision. CEO Christian Kanstrup highlighted the potential life-saving impact of EVX-01 and anticipates further data by Q3 2024.
Evaxion Biotech (NASDAQ: EVAX) released its first-quarter 2024 financial results and business update. Key highlights include a net income of $1.2 million, a significant improvement from a $6.2 million loss in Q1 2023, primarily due to the remeasurement of derivative liabilities. The company's cash position improved to $11.7 million from $5.6 million at year-end 2023. Operational highlights include advancements in their AI-Immunology™ platform and upcoming milestones for their vaccine candidates. However, Evaxion received a Nasdaq equity deficiency letter due to IFRS accounting treatment of investor warrants. The company addressed this by converting warrant exercise prices from USD to DKK, eliminating the derivative liability. Despite the positive financial turnaround, Evaxion needs additional funding to sustain operations beyond Q1 2025.
Evaxion Biotech announces positive data from its ongoing Phase 2 study of the personalized cancer vaccine EVX-01 at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. The study, which combines EVX-01 with anti-PD1 therapy for advanced melanoma patients, reveals that EVX-01 induces strong and specific immune responses mediated by both CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells. Booster shots further enhance these responses without safety concerns. The vaccine demonstrated a good tolerance profile with only minor adverse events. These findings support the potential clinical benefits of EVX-01 and the precision of Evaxion’s AI-Immunology™ platform in selecting effective vaccine targets.
