Evaxion A/S has announced an expansion of its AI‑Immunology™ platform to include autoimmune diseases, adding a third therapeutic area to its existing oncology and infectious‑disease focus. The move positions the company to address a large unmet need in the autoimmune therapeutics market, which was valued at $6.54 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $11.75 billion by 2032.
The AI‑Immunology™ platform is built around four core components—PIONEER, EDEN, ObsERV, and RAVEN—that collectively decode the human immune system and identify precision targets. By applying these tools to autoimmune disease biology, Evaxion aims to uncover novel therapeutic candidates that can be advanced through its existing development pipeline.
Evaxion’s prior financial performance shows a Q3 2025 revenue of $7.5 million and a net income of $4.6 million, underscoring the company’s ability to generate positive cash flow from its early‑stage assets. The company has extended its cash runway into the second half of 2027, giving it the financial flexibility to invest in the autoimmune expansion without compromising its ongoing oncology and infectious‑disease programs.
The company plans to train the platform for autoimmune applications in the second half of 2026, with the goal of generating new pipeline programs that could attract partnership opportunities. Management highlighted that the expansion could unlock significant partnership value, citing a recent collaboration with MSD on a bacterial vaccine candidate as an example of how Evaxion’s platform can be leveraged across therapeutic areas.
CEO Helen Tayton‑Martin emphasized the strategic importance of the move, stating, '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.'
The expansion represents a material shift in Evaxion’s business model, broadening its therapeutic portfolio and positioning the company to capture a growing market segment. Investors will likely view the move as a strategic investment in long‑term growth, while partners may see new avenues for collaboration in a field with high unmet need.
