New York, May 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PESG Research today announced the release of a report examining Silexion Therapeutics, an innovative biotechnology company developing unique RNA interference (RNAi) therapies targeting KRAS-driven cancers. The below report explores the company's disruptive technological approach, recent scientific milestones, and potential implications for cancer treatment strategies, in the fast growing precision oncology market.
Executive Summary
The precision oncology landscape is experiencing a potential breakthrough with Silexion Therapeutics' innovative approach to addressing KRAS-driven cancers. KRAS mutations represent one of the most challenging oncogenic drivers in cancer, historically resistant to traditional therapeutic interventions. Silexion's lead candidate, SIL204, represents a novel approach to cancer treatment, demonstrating promising preclinical results in reducing both primary tumor growth and metastatic spread across multiple cancer types, including pancreatic, colorectal, and lung cancers.
The company's approach offers a fundamentally different strategy to cancer treatment, with potential to address some of the most aggressive and hard-to-treat malignancies. By targeting genetic mechanisms of cancer progression, Silexion is positioning itself at the forefront of precision oncology research. This report includes partner content. We advise readers to refer to the disclaimers and disclosures included at the end of this report.
Technological Platform
Silexion's core technology distinguishes itself by targeting KRAS mutations at the genetic level, a fundamentally different approach from traditional small molecule inhibitors. The RNA interference (RNAi) platform aims to prevent the production of oncogenic proteins, offering a potentially more comprehensive method of disrupting cancer cell proliferation.
The SIL204 candidate demonstrates the ability to target multiple KRAS mutations, including G12D, G12V, G12R, Q61H, and G13D. This broad targeting is critical given the prevalence of KRAS mutations in various cancer types: approximately 90% in pancreatic cancers, 45% in colorectal cancers, and 35% in non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancers.
Preclinical Developments
A significant milestone was achieved in March 2025 with the completion of orthotopic pancreatic cancer model studies. These studies utilized clinically relevant models where human tumor cells are implanted directly into the pancreas, providing a more accurate representation of cancer progression than traditional xenograft models.
The research demonstrated notable efficacy across multiple cancer cell lines. In orthotopic models, SIL204 showed significant reductions in tumor cell numbers across different pancreatic cancer cell lines, with results varying by specific cell line and mutation profile. This approach offers a more nuanced understanding of potential therapeutic interventions.
Strategic Approach
Silexion has developed a sophisticated approach to drug delivery, focusing on two primary administration routes: systemic delivery for targeting metastatic progression and intratumoral delivery for primary tumor treatment. The company's collaboration with Catalent aims to optimize formulation development and clinical manufacturing processes, enhancing the potential efficacy of SIL204.
The company's strategy extends beyond a single cancer type, with ongoing research exploring potential applications in colorectal and lung cancers. This broad approach reflects a comprehensive understanding of KRAS-driven malignancies and their complex biological mechanisms.
The Road Ahead
Silexion's development roadmap reportedly includes continued preclinical studies, planned toxicology and pharmacodynamic investigations, potential regulatory submissions, and anticipated initiation of human clinical trials in the first half of 2026. While the approach shows significant promise, it is crucial to recognize the challenges inherent in translating preclinical research into clinical treatments. The scientific community will be watching closely as Silexion continues to advance its innovative approach to cancer therapy. If succesfulm Silexion's contribution to the field of cancer therapeutics and precision oncology could be major.
