EXHIBIT 99.1
Evaxion expands AI-Immunology™ platform into autoimmune diseases
- Evaxion adds autoimmune disease as a third disease area as it expands its therapeutic focus
- In future, Evaxion’s proprietary AI-Immunology™ platform will enable the discovery and development of drug candidates targeting cancer, infectious and autoimmune diseases, leveraging its unique scalability
- Autoimmune diseases represent a high unmet medical need and offer significant partnership potential across all stages of drug development
- Evaxion also announces additional 2026 company milestones and maintains cash runway into second half of 2027
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, January 13, 2026 - Evaxion A/S (NASDAQ: EVAX) (“Evaxion”), a clinical-stage TechBio company specializing in developing AI-Immunology™ powered vaccines, will expand the use of its proprietary AI-Immunology™ platform to also discover and develop new treatments for autoimmune diseases. Thus, Evaxion will in the future work within cancers, infectious and autoimmune diseases as its core disease areas.
The expansion leverages the unique scalability of AI-Immunology™ and will increase the pool of diseases for which we can decode the immune system and potentially discover and develop new treatments. In turn, this will improve the quantity and quality of new programs within our pipeline, potentially available for partnership. Autoimmune diseases are characterized by high unmet medical need and offer significant partnership potential across all stages of drug development.
“Autoimmune diseases can be severely debilitating and even lethal, placing a substantial burden on patients, their families and on society across all stages of life. With AI-Immunology™ we have a unique technology and a platform that we know can deliver new treatment opportunities. By expanding the platform into autoimmune diseases, we have the potential to meaningfully improve the outcome for patients and unlock significant partnership value from the platform,” says Helen Tayton-Martin, CEO at Evaxion.
We plan to expand and train AI-Immunology™ to be applicable to autoimmune diseases during the second half of 2026. Specifically, the AI-Immunology™ platform potentially allows for development of precision treatments targeting underlying disease mechanisms, in contrast to current treatment approaches that primarily address symptoms. The related work on the autoimmune disease application development is already included in Evaxion’s cashflow outlook and does not impact our cash runway, which still extends to the second half of 2027.
2026 company milestones
The expansion to autoimmune diseases represents a new strategic milestone for Evaxion in addition to other milestones for 2026 as outlined below. These reflect continued execution of our strategy of creating value from both our platform and pipeline assets through partnerships.
| Milestone | Target | |
| EVX-01 | Additional biomarker and immunogenicity data | H1 |
| AI-Immunology™ | New application for autoimmune diseases | H2 |
| EVX-01 | Three-year phase 2 clinical efficacy data | H2 |
| EVX-04 | Regulatory filing for phase 1 trial | H2 |
| EVX-B4 | Design and preclinical validation of antigens | H2 |
