Accepted Presentations

Oral Presentation (LR-MDS)

Abstract #490: Correlation between Treatment-Emergent Cytopenias and Clinical Response with Imetelstat (IME) in Patients (Pts) with Lower-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes (LR-MDS): Analysis from the IMerge Trial
Presenter : Amer Zeidan, MBBS, MHS, Chief of the Division of Hematologic Malignancies and Professor of Medicine at Yale University
Presentation Date and Time: December 7, 2025, 10:00-10:15 AM ET
"In hematology, the emergence of cytopenias can reflect a therapy’s biological activity within the bone marrow," said Amer Zeidan, Chief of the Division of Hematologic Malignancies and Professor of Medicine at Yale University. "Our analysis explores how early treatment-emergent cytopenias with imetelstat are on target and may relate to clinical response, helping to inform how we interpret treatment patterns and patient management in this setting. Together with other studies being presented at ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper), these findings continue to build a deeper scientific understanding of telomerase inhibition and its relevance in myeloid malignancies."

Poster Presentation (LR-MDS)

Publication #2074: Long-Term Outcomes from Randomized, Double-Bind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 3 IMerge Trial of Imetelstat for Lower-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes (LR-MDS)
Presenter: Valeria Santini, M.D., Associate Professor of Hematology at the University of Florence Medical School
Session Date and Time: December 6, 2025, 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM ET
This abstract evaluates long-term follow-up data from the IMerge trial, which is the foundation of imetelstat’s approval in the U.S. and EU. Although the 42-month landmark analysis was not pre-specified, the totality of the data and the results of an overall survival OS analysis (≥42 months) suggest a favorable trend for imetelstat in OS, progression-free survival and time to progression to AML, compared to placebo.

Poster Presentations (MF)

Publication #5585: Correlation between Interleukin (IL)-8 and Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)-Alpha Levels and Overall Survival in Patients (Pts) with Myelofibrosis (MF) Relapsed or Refractory (R/R) to a Janus-Associated Kinase Inhibitor (JAKi) Treated with Imetelstat (IME) in the IMbark Trial
Presenter: John Mascarenhas, M.D., Professor of Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
Session Date and Time: December 8, 2025, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM ET
This abstract is a new exploratory analysis using data from the Phase 2 IMbark trial of imetelstat in relapsed/refractory MF. This hypothesis-generating analysis identified dose-dependent reductions in specific inflammatory cytokines with imetelstat from baseline which, taken together with previously presented data, suggests potential disease-modifying activity in MF.

Publication #2052: IMproveMF: Phase 1b Trial of Imetelstat Plus Ruxolitinib in Patients with Intermediate-2 or High-Risk Myelofibrosis
Presenter: John Mascarenhas, M.D., Professor of Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
Session Date and Time: December 6, 2025, 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM ET
This abstract is sharing the trial design for the expansion portion of the IMproveMF Phase 1b trial of imetelstat and ruxolitinib in high-risk MF. The first treatment visit has occurred, and enrollment is ongoing.

Poster Presentation (Investigator Sponsored: HR-MDS and AML)

Evaxion expands R&D pipeline with new AI-designed precision cancer vaccine candidate

On November 3, 2025 Evaxion A/S (NASDAQ: EVAX) ("Evaxion"), a clinical-stage TechBio company specializing in developing AI-Immunology powered vaccines, reported its R&D pipeline with the addition of EVX-04, an AI-designed precision cancer vaccine candidate. We will pursue clinical development of EVX-04, currently in preclinical development, as a new therapeutic vaccine against acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

EVX-04 is designed to target non-conventional ERV (endogenous retrovirus) tumor antigens from the dark genome. These antigens are present in tumors but absent in normal tissue, making them highly attractive targets for cancer vaccines.

Leveraging our proprietary AI-Immunology platform, Evaxion has identified ERV antigens in patient tumor sequencing data. Uniquely, the platform then selects optimal fragments from these antigens based on their potential to be effective vaccine targets across a wide range of patients.

By including multiple of these fragments in EVX-04, the vaccine is designed to be effective in all patients regardless of immune and tumor ERV antigen differences. This makes EVX-04 a so-called "off-the-shelf" vaccine preproduced and ready for immediate administration after diagnosis.

"We are very excited to select a lead candidate for our ERV-based precision cancer vaccine concept. Representing a completely novel approach, EVX-04 is a great example of how AI-Immunology enables us to design and develop new therapies that could lead to better outcomes for patients. This approach could enable broader use of cancer vaccines, including for patients who do not respond to conventional immunotherapies," says Birgitte Rønø, CSO and interim CEO of Evaxion.

New data to be presented at ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper) Meeting
New preclinical data demonstrates that EVX-04 induces strong T-cell responses and kill cancer cells. The data will be presented at an oral session at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) (Free ASH Whitepaper) Annual Meeting and Exposition in Florida on December 6, 2025.

"The ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper) meeting is a fantastic opportunity for us to present the data and introduce EVX-04 to both scientists, doctors and potential business partners. We are thrilled to have been selected to do an oral presentation and are looking very much forward to share and discuss the data and concept," says Birgitte Rønø.

About ERVs
ERVs are remnants of ancient viruses lying dormant in our genome. ERVs are often overexpressed in cancer but not in healthy tissue, making them visible to the immune system and hence promising targets for cancer vaccines. AI-Immunology is crucial in allowing the identification of therapeutically relevant ERV tumor antigens from genomic patient tumor data.

About AML
AML is an aggressive hematologic malignancy characterized by the clonal expansion of undifferentiated myeloid precursor cells (AML blasts) in the bone marrow. The malignant proliferation leads to suppression of normal hematopoiesis, resulting in cytopenia, increased
susceptibility to infections, bleeding, and fatigue (Döhner et al. 2022).

If left untreated, the disease is fatal, often within weeks to months, with patients typically succumbing to infections within weeks to months.
