PESG Report: Silexion Therapeutics' Systemic Delivery Breakthrough Positions Company as Rising Star in The Multi-Billion Dollar Precision Oncology Market
Silexion Therapeutics reported 50% Tumor Reduction in Breakthrough Preclinical Systemic Administration Data; Maxim Group Analyst recently gave the company a Strong Buy Rating and a $9 Price Target as Company Advances RNAi Platform for KRAS-Driven Cancers Amid Hot Precision Oncology M&A Market and a series of Multi-Billion Dollar Acquisitions in the field NEW YORK, January 29, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PESG Research releases new market update: Silexion Therapeutics (NASDAQ: SLXN)* continues to strengthen its position in the precision oncology landscape with breakthrough preclinical data validating systemic administration of SIL-204, potentially opening new frontiers in treating KRAS-driven cancers. This development comes amid increasing industry appetite for innovative oncology assets, exemplified by recent multi-billion dollar acquisitions. Silexion's latest preclinical findings mark a significant advancement in RNAi therapeutics, with data showing 50% tumor growth reduction and complete necrosis in half of treated tumors after 30 days, sustained therapeutic levels for over 56 days from a single administration, and broad coverage of key KRAS mutations (G12D, G12V, G12R, Q61H, and G13D). These results build upon previous successes, including promising synergy with first-line chemotherapies and the strategic collaboration with Evonik for advanced PLGA microparticle formulation. The precision oncology landscape has witnessed unprecedented consolidation, with Pfizer's $43 billion acquisition of Seagen and AbbVie's $10.1 billion purchase of Immunogen exemplifying the industry's willingness to invest heavily in innovative cancer therapeutics. These transactions reflect a broader industry shift toward precision medicine, particularly in oncology, where targeted therapies command significant premiums. Silexion's emergence as a potentially compelling player stems from its differentiated RNAi approach to targeting one of oncology's most challenging problems, offering broader applicability across multiple KRAS mutations compared to competitors' small molecule inhibitors. The first-generation LODER™ platform has already demonstrated promising Phase 2 results, while the next-generation SIL-204 advances toward clinical trials with successful validation of systemic administration. Notable industry analysts seem to have taken notice, with Maxim Group initiating coverage with a "strong buy" recommendation in November 2024 and an updated price target of $9. As Silexion advances toward clinical trials with SIL-204 and explores expanded development strategies, several key catalysts may lie ahead and could be worth watching closely, including metastasis impact studies, advancement towards next phases of trials, data from additional indications, potential strategic partnerships, and more positioning the company uniquely in the precision oncology landscape at a time when the industry actively seeks innovative solutions for challenging cancers.

Silexion Therapeutics Reports Strong Tumor Growth Reduction from Systemic Administration of SIL-204 in Preclinical Pancreatic Cancer Models
New preclinical findings provide validation for Silexion's new systemic administration approach for SIL-204, demonstrating inhibition of tumor growth in a clinically relevant orthotopic model; Further studies aim to evaluate its impact on metastases Cayman Islands, January 28, 2025 – Silexion Therapeutics Corp. (NASDAQ: SLXN) ('Silexion' or the 'Company'), a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering RNA interference (RNAi) therapies for KRAS-driven cancers, today announced promising new preclinical data for SIL-204, its next-generation siRNA therapeutic candidate. The findings contribute to validating systemic administration as an effective delivery approach, demonstrating significant tumor growth reduction in orthotopic pancreatic cancer models, a platform designed to mimic human cancer progression. This data underscores SIL-204's potential to address one of the most aggressive and challenging cancers, validating its ability to target KRAS mutations systemically while achieving prolonged therapeutic activity. While the current data shows robust tumor growth inhibition, further studies aim to evaluate its impact on metastases, which the Company is cautiously optimisic about. The Company is actively exploring how this promising data can inform an expanded next-generation treatment strategy for KRAS-driven cancers and expects to announce details of its expanded development plan shortly. Key Preclinical Data Highlights SIL-204 administered in an extended release formulation reduced tumor growth by ~50% after 30 days, with ~50% of tumors showing complete necrosis, in human pancreatic tumors harboring a G12D mutation xenografted into mice. SIL-204 administered subcutaneously inhibited tumor growth in mouse metastatic pancreatic orthotopic models. A single systemic administration of SIL-204 maintained effective drug levels in rat plasma and tissues for over 56 days. SIL-204 inhibits key oncogenic KRAS mutations, including G12D, G12V, G12R, Q61H, and G13D. Intratumoral administration of SIL-204 microparticles reduced tumor cell numbers by ~3-fold, tumor area by ~1.5-fold, and increased tumor necrosis by ~5-fold after 15 days in human pancreatic cancer xenograft harboring a KRAS G12V mutation in mice. 'We are thrilled to share these results, which showcase systemic administration as an effective method for targeting KRAS-driven cancers,' Mitchell Shirvan, Ph.D., CSO of Silexion. 'By demonstrating robust tumor growth inhibition in a clinically relevant model, SIL-204 shows significant potential to address advanced cancers. We look forward to future studies evaluating its impact on metastatic progression.'
