  • Evaxion Biotech A/S (NASDAQ:EVAX) has announced interim safety and immunogenicity data from the Phase 1/2a first-in-human study of its DNA-based cancer immunotherapy, EVX-02.
  • In the clinical study, EVX-02 is given in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor and targets cancer mutations, neoantigens, in patients with resected melanoma. 
  • "We are thrilled to announce promising interim data from the first eight patients...All patients demonstrated a specific T-cell immune response induced by the treatment, confirming the potential capabilities of our AI platform technology," said CEO Per Norlén.
  • Personalized cancer immunotherapy, like EVX-02, is particularly challenging to produce because a new and unique drug is manufactured for each patient.
  • The treatment appeared to be well tolerated in all patients, with only very mild adverse events (AEs) observed in relation to EVX-02 treatment.
  • EVX-02 induced CD4+ and CD8+ specific T-cell responses in all patients, providing proof of mechanism for DNA-delivery technology, in that the delivered EVX-02-DNA gave rise to immune reactions to its encoded neoantigen peptides. The T-cell responses were robust and long-lasting.
  • A full clinical trial report for the EVX-02 Phase 1 study is expected in the second quarter of 2023.
  • Price Action: EVAX shares traded higher by 0.92% at $2.24 on the last check Thursday.
