COPENHAGEN, Denmark, December 9, 2024 - Evaxion Biotech A/S (NASDAQ: EVAX) (“Evaxion”), a clinical-stage TechBio company specializing in developing AI-Immunology powered vaccines, announces its strategic milestones for 2025 after having now achieved almost all the milestones set for 2024.
The 2025 milestones reflect Evaxion’s high activity level, broad pipeline and strong external interest in potential partnerships around both our AI-Immunology platform and pipeline assets. As such, the milestones underscore our continued anticipated strategic progress.
“We have been very successful in executing our strategy and plans throughout 2024. This makes us excited and confident looking into 2025, as reflected in the milestones for the year. In essence, our strategy for value creation is unchanged and so is our daily focus on executing this strategy to the benefit of shareholders, patients and employees,” says Christian Kanstrup, CEO of Evaxion.
Evaxion’s overriding priorities are execution upon our business development strategy, continuation of the ongoing EVX-01 phase 2 trial, the ongoing strengthening of our AI-Immunology platform and further advancement of our research activities, including progressing our ERV-based precision vaccine concept towards clinical development. Finally, the focus is, of course, on advancing our existing partnerships, including bringing the MSD collaboration, entered in September 2024, to option exercise.
All this is reflected in the 2025 milestones as listed below. Evaxion expects to discuss the milestones at an investor event in the first quarter of 2025.
