The company explained that this year, it carried out the event schedule with various discussions on more advanced pipelines than before. Pexa-Vec, which completed a Phase 2a clinical trial for kidney cancer patients, held a business meeting with its partner Regeneron. Senior officials from both companies attended the meeting and engaged in in-depth discussions on technology licensing and development expansion. In addition to Regeneron, other global big pharma companies showed interest in the development status and clinical data of Pexa-Vec, leading to further meetings.

Besides Pexa-Vec, meetings were also held regarding BAL0891 and the SJ-600 series, which are under development by SillaJen. These next-generation pipelines attracted inquiries about their mechanisms of action and joint development, and follow-up meetings were established with some companies. A SillaJen representative said, “This BIO USA was a meaningful opportunity to meet with various global companies and introduce the company’s excellent pipelines. In particular, since there were in-depth partnership discussions with some companies regarding our pipelines, we expect to announce good results in the near future.”
