Jerusalem, Israel, – Jan 8, 2015 - Silenseed LTD, a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company
developing RNAi-based therapies for solid tumors, including pancreatic, prostate and brain
tumors, will present at Biotech Showcase 2015 on Wednesday January 14, 2015 at 4:45pm PST.
The investor and partnering conference will take place at the Parc 55 Wyndham San Francisco –
Union Square. Chief Executive Officer of Silenseed, Amotz Shemi, PhD, will provide a corporate
overview including recent advancements of the Company’s successful Phase 1/2a clinical trial
evaluating siG12D-LODER™ in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer, and the
preparation toward Phase 2b.
About siG12D-LODER for patients with pancreatic cancer
An efficient non-toxic treatment for pancreatic cancer is an urgent unmet need. Silenseed
develops the LODER (Local Drug EluteR) platform, specifically the siG12D-LODER™, a miniature
biodegradable polymeric matrix encompassing a novel anti-KRAS siRNA drug. So far the well
known dominating cancer driver KRAS was considered as an undrugable target. LODER is placed
within the tumor by endoscope ultrasound, enabling prolonged drug release within the tumor
along months, while protecting the vulnerable siRNA from degradation and ensuring complete
drug coverage of the tumor. siG12D-LODER™ passed a successful Phase 1/2a study, presented
an effective therapeutic modality for pancreatic cancer in combination with Gemcitabine or
FOLFIRINOX. Safety profile confirmed; encouraging efficacy evidences included tumor response,
and extension of progression free survival and overall survival. LODER solves major challenges of
oligonucleotide therapeutics for a large subset of diseases including solid tumors.
