Silexion Therapeutics Corp (SLXN) Reports Annual Financial Results, Focuses on KRAS-Driven Cancer Treatments
Silexion Therapeutics Corp, a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing treatments for KRAS-driven cancers, released its 10-K filing, detailing its financial performance and operational developments. The company, which was formed through a business combination in August 2024, reported a net loss of $11.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to a net loss of $16.5 million for the previous year. The decrease in net loss was primarily attributed to decreases in general and administrative expenses, and financial expenses, including significant decreases in non-cash items related to share-based compensation, and transaction costs related to the Closing of the Business Combination in August 2024, which were not repeated in 2025, as partially offset by an increase in research and development expenses. As of December 31, 2025, Silexion had cash and cash equivalents of $6.0 million.
The company's research and development expenses increased to $7.1 million in 2025 from $5.8 million in 2024, driven by higher subcontractor and consultant costs related to the manufacturing of SIL204, its lead product candidate. General and administrative expenses decreased to $4.5 million from $6.8 million, mainly due to a decrease in non-cash share-based compensation expenses. Silexion has not generated any revenue from product sales to date, and its ability to achieve profitability depends on the successful development and commercialization of its product candidates.
Operationally, Silexion is focused on advancing SIL204, a second-generation siRNA therapeutic, for the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) patients with KRAS mutations. The company held a meeting with the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices in Germany (BfArM) to discuss the planned design of the Phase 2/3 trial, at which BfArM agreed, in principle, to the design. In the fourth quarter of 2025, Silexion submitted an application to the Israeli Ministry of Health for commencing the adaptive Phase 2/3 trial with a safety run-in at several locations in Israel. The company expects to initiate the first part of its Phase 2/3 clinical studies in the second quarter of 2026.
Looking ahead, Silexion plans to submit an application to BfArM to conduct clinical studies in Germany in the first quarter of 2026, and expects to submit applications for trials in additional European Union countries early in 2027. The company also plans to submit an investigational new drug application (IND) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in Q1, 2027. Silexion's strategy includes advancing the clinical development of SIL204, leveraging its platform to other oncological indications harboring the KRASG12 mutation, and forming strategic alliances to augment its capabilities. The company's future success depends on its ability to secure additional funding, navigate regulatory approvals, and successfully commercialize its product candidates in a competitive market.
