Silence Therapeutics Plc SEC Filings

Silence Therapeutics furnished an updated corporate presentation outlining progress across its RNA interference (siRNA) pipeline for rare blood and cardiometabolic diseases. The 8-K is a Regulation FD disclosure and the materials are furnished, not filed, under securities laws.

The presentation highlights divesiran for polycythemia vera, where a 21‑patient Phase 1 study showed marked reductions in phlebotomy dependence with a favorable safety profile. A 48‑patient, placebo‑controlled Phase 2 trial is fully enrolled, with topline results expected in 3Q 2026.

SLN312, an ANGPTL3‑targeting siRNA for dyslipidemia, showed robust lipid and ANGPTL3 reductions in Phase 1; Silence expects to regain global rights after Phase 1. Preclinical programs include SLN365 (GPR146) for familial hypercholesterolemia, targeting an IND in 2H 2027, and SLN098 (INHBE) for obesity and metabolic disease, with ~90% target knockdown in primates and a potential IND by 2027 year‑end.

Silence Therapeutics plc reports that shareholders approved nine resolutions at its 2026 Annual General Meeting held on June 16, 2026. Investors re‑appointed directors Rhonda Hellums and James Ede‑Golightly, with 47,160,731 and 52,112,045 votes cast in favor, respectively.

Shareholders gave advisory approval to executive compensation and the directors’ remuneration report, and adopted the 2025 U.K. statutory annual accounts and reports. They also ratified and re‑appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as both U.S. independent registered public accounting firm and U.K. statutory auditors, and authorized the Audit & Risk Committee to set the auditors’ remuneration. Application of Article 159 of the Company’s articles of association was also approved.

Silence Therapeutics plc reported new follow-up results from its Phase 1 SANRECO study of divesiran, an siRNA therapy for polycythemia vera, showing durable reductions in phlebotomy needs and potential quality-of-life benefits.

Among 21 phlebotomy-dependent patients, 80 phlebotomies were required in the six months before treatment versus only 5 during the active dosing period, all in patients with uncontrolled hematocrit above 45%. In the 16-week follow-up after the final dose, only 4 phlebotomies were reported, and for 14 patients with extended follow-up the median time to first phlebotomy was 287 days. Most patients saw improvements in MPN-10 symptom scores, and divesiran was generally well tolerated with mainly mild, transient injection-site reactions and no dose-limiting toxicities.

The ongoing randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2 SANRECO study in 48 patients is testing 6 mg divesiran given every 6 or 12 weeks, with topline results expected in August 2026.

Silence Therapeutics plc filed a prospectus supplement to offer up to $100,000,000 of American Depositary Shares (ADSs) under an at-the-market sales agreement with Jefferies LLC dated May 18, 2026. Each ADS represents three ordinary shares. The offering is agent-led: Jefferies may sell ADSs from time to time, subject to market conditions and mutually agreed terms, and is entitled to up to a 3.0% commission. The prospectus notes 47,234,613 ADSs (141,703,840 ordinary shares) outstanding as of March 31, 2026, states an assumed illustrative price of $6.10 per ADS for dilution examples, and discloses net tangible book value metrics (historical $0.82 per ADS, as-adjusted $2.12 per ADS) and illustrative dilution of $3.98 per ADS. Use of net proceeds, if any, is for clinical development and general corporate purposes. The offering may be conducted as an "at-the-market" program and proceeds and number of ADSs sold are uncertain.

Silence Therapeutics plc reported first quarter 2026 results, showing higher collaboration revenue and a much narrower loss as it advances its siRNA pipeline. Collaboration revenue from AstraZeneca rose to $0.4 million from $0.1 million a year earlier.

Research and development expenses fell to $9.1 million from $20.8 million, largely after completing zerlasiran Phase 3 readiness in 2025. Net loss improved to $15.0 million, or $0.11 per share, compared with a $28.5 million loss, or $0.20 per share, in the prior-year quarter. The company held $70.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of March 31, 2026, and its Phase 2 SANRECO trial of divesiran in polycythemia vera remains on track for topline results in August 2026.

Silence Therapeutics plc is a UK-based biotechnology company developing short interfering RNA (siRNA) medicines using its mRNAi GOLD™ liver-targeted platform. Its lead rare disease program, divesiran (SLN124), is in a fully enrolled Phase 2 SANRECO trial for polycythemia vera, with topline results expected in the third quarter of 2026.

Cardiometabolic pipeline assets include zerlasiran (SLN360), a Phase 3–ready siRNA targeting Lp(a) for cardiovascular disease, SLN312 targeting ANGPTL3, SLN365 for cholesterol via GPR146, and SLN098 for obesity via INHBE, all designed for potent, infrequent subcutaneous dosing. The company believes existing cash, cash equivalents and anticipated milestone payments from current collaborations can fund operations into 2028.

Silence has collaboration histories with AstraZeneca and Hansoh. AstraZeneca advanced SLN312 into Phase 1 with multiple milestone payments but decided on March 4, 2026 not to pursue development beyond Phase 1, after which Silence will regain full global rights. Hansoh paid upfront and milestone amounts on three siRNA targets but elected in December 2024 not to continue development, leaving Silence with worldwide rights to those programs.

Silence Therapeutics reported a larger full-year 2025 net loss while highlighting progress across its siRNA pipeline. Collaboration revenue dropped to $0.6M from $43.3M, driving a wider net loss of $88.6M, or $0.63 per share, versus a $45.3M loss in 2024.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $85.1M as of December 31, 2025. The company emphasized divesiran for polycythemia vera, with the Phase 2 SANRECO trial fully enrolled and topline results expected in 3Q 2026, and completed core Phase 3 readiness work for zerlasiran in high Lp(a).

AstraZeneca completed a Phase 1 interim analysis of SLN312 in dyslipidemia and then decided not to pursue development beyond Phase 1, after which Silence will regain exclusive global rights. Silence also advanced new preclinical programs SLN365 and SLN098 and noted leadership changes with Iain Ross serving as Interim Principal Executive Officer.
