Danish clinical-stage techbio Evaxion (Nasdaq: EVAX), which is developing novel vaccines with its pioneering AI-Immunology platform, is expanding its pipeline of cancer vaccine programs with EVX-05 against the deadly brain cancer glioblastoma. The company’s shares moved up 4.8% to $3.50 in pre-market activity on the news.
Evaxion is collaborating with experts from Duke University School of Medicine to develop EVX-05. This program targets endogenous retrovirus (ERV)-derived antigens shared between glioblastoma patients, which AI-Immunolog has unique capabilities in identifying. These ERV-antigens constitute a novel source of highly attractive targets for off-the-shelf cancer vaccines.
