Silexion reports positive preclinical SIL204 data on lipoprotein-mediated cell uptake
Silexion Therapeutics announced on September 28, 2026 preclinical findings that its lead candidate SIL204 uses naturally occurring serum lipoproteins to enter cancer cells and silence mutant KRAS. The study was in vitro, and the company said further pharmacokinetic and biodistribution studies are underway, so the results do not yet show clinical effect. The data supports the company's plan for systemic administration in its Phase 2/3 pancreatic cancer program.
Key points
- In the study, depleting serum lipids cut SIL204 gene-knockdown efficiency by a statistically significant amount (P < 0.001).
- Adding exogenous human LDL did not change gene-silencing potency compared with complete serum.
- The company's Phase 2/3 trial targets locally advanced pancreatic cancer, with site initiation and regulatory clearances in Israel and Germany still in progress.
- The filing contains no financial results, guidance or new capital figures.
