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.
