Evaxion: Progress Unrecognized By Market And A Catalyst-Full 2025

Summary Evaxion has demonstrated impressive in-house capabilities for discovering and developing vaccine candidates for both infectious diseases and oncology indications. Partnership with MSD, albeit heavily backloaded, provides considerable validation of Evaxion's value. A potential option exercise by MSD expected later this year would bring in up to $10M. EVAX guides a cash runway into mid-2026, which could be extended into 2027 if MSD exercises options for both partnered candidates (not accounting for potential further business developments). EVAX aims for at least 2 new deals in 2025 and is in the meantime further developing its AI platform to stay ahead of competition. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Evaxion: An Intriguing AI Vaccine Company With Big Pharma Collaboration

Summary Evaxion's sophisticated AI Immunology platform aims to outperform competitors in vaccine development, in both oncology and infectious diseases indications. The company has already established three collaborations, including a partnership with MSD, and has raised enough funding to last through 2024. Evaxion's AI models, including EDEN, RAVEN, PIONEER, ObsERV, and AI-DEEP, show promise in identifying protective antigens, designing effective and safe personalized cancer vaccines and predicting which patients will respond. Big pharma interest, pending catalysts in 2024, impressive proof-of-concept preclinical and clinical data are compelling enough for me for a small speculative position. However, the risk of considerably more dilutive funding as well as the very early stage of the pipeline make me give a "Hold" recommendation. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
