Silexion Therapeutics Announces First Patient Successfully Dosed in Phase 2/3 Clinical Trial of SIL204 in Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
Silexion Therapeutics dosed the first patient worldwide in its Phase 2/3 trial of lead RNAi candidate SIL204 in locally advanced pancreatic cancer, treated at Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center in Israel.
The trial combines a safety run-in of about 18 patients with a randomized expansion of about 166 patients, testing SIL204 plus standard chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in newly diagnosed, KRAS-mutated Stage 3 LAPC patients.
SIL204 uses a dual-route delivery strategy: EUS-guided intratumoral injection to penetrate tumor stroma plus subcutaneous dosing for systemic exposure, with additional sites in Israel and Germany expected to activate in coming months.
