Exhibit 99.1
Silexion Therapeutics Announces Successful Submission of Phase 2/3 Clinical Trial Application to
Germany’s BfArM for SIL204 in KRAS-Driven Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
CTA submission positions Silexion for European Phase 2/3 trial of SIL204 in KRAS-driven pancreatic
cancer, with Germany serving as Reference Member State for the EU program
Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, April 28, 2026 —
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 the recent successful submission of a Clinical
Trial Application (CTA) to Germany for its planned Phase 2/3 clinical trial of its lead, small interfering RNA (siRNA) product candidate, SIL204, in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC). The CTA was submitted through the EU
Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS), with Germany serving as the Reporting Member State — the country that will lead the scientific assessment of the trial across the European Union.
The submission represents a pivotal regulatory milestone in Silexion's clinical development program and marks the Company's entry into the
European regulatory process for its next-generation siRNA therapy targeting mutated KRAS. The filing was informed by the positive Scientific Advice received from Germany's Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM, Bundesinstitut für Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte) announced in December 2025, and follows the recent approval from the Israeli Ministry of Health
to initiate the same Phase 2/3 trial in Israel.
The application is supported by a comprehensive regulatory package, including completed two-species toxicology studies confirming no
systemic organ toxicity, and extensive preclinical data. Upon approval, Silexion plans to conduct the trial at leading oncology centers in Germany and across additional EU member states, in parallel with its previously announced Israeli sites led by
Sheba Medical Center. Overall Phase 2/3 trial initiation remains planned for the second quarter of 2026.
"The successful submission of our Phase 2/3 clinical trial application to Germany is a defining milestone that extends SIL204's development
into Europe and positions Silexion to advance one of the most innovative RNAi programs in KRAS-driven cancer across multiple major jurisdictions," said Ilan Hadar, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Silexion Therapeutics. "Germany is widely
regarded as one of the most rigorous and respected regulatory environments in the world, and its role as our Reporting Member State under the EU Clinical Trials Regulation provides a strong foundation for our broader European Phase 2/3 program. With
the recent Israeli Ministry of Health approval in hand and now our European filing successfully in place, we are executing against every pillar of our 2026 regulatory roadmap as we prepare to initiate the Phase 2/3 trial in the second quarter of this
year."
The planned Phase 2/3 trial will evaluate SIL204 in combination with standard-of-care chemotherapy in patients with LAPC, using Silexion's
innovative dual-route administration strategy - combining intratumoral delivery to target primary tumors with systemic administration to address metastatic disease. The study is structured as a safety run-in followed by a randomized cohort.
Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most lethal malignancies, with a five-year survival rate below 13% and more than 80% of pancreatic cancer mortality driven by metastatic disease. KRAS mutations are present in approximately 90% of pancreatic
cancers, 45% of colorectal cancers, and 30-35% of lung adenocarcinomas, representing one of the largest and most persistent unmet needs in oncology.
About Silexion Therapeutics
Silexion Therapeutics is a pioneering clinical-stage, oncology-focused biotechnology company dedicated to the development of innovative treatments for unsatisfactorily treated solid tumor cancers that have the mutated KRAS oncogene, generally
considered to be the most common oncogenic gene driver in human cancers. The Company conducted a Phase 2a clinical trial in its first-generation product candidate, which showed a positive trend in comparison to the control of chemotherapy alone, and
is currently advancing its lead, second-generation, product candidate, SIL204, a small interfering RNA (siRNA), towards clinical trials in Israel and the European Union. Silexion is committed to pushing the boundaries of therapeutic advancements in
the field of oncology and further developing its lead product candidate for locally advanced pancreatic cancer. For more information, please visit: https://silexion.com
