American biotech Shattuck Labs has announced plans to reduce its workforce by approximately 40%, bringing its employee count below 50.

The decision follows results from Phase I trials where SL-172154 did not show significant improvements in median overall survival for patients with TP53-mutant acute myeloid leukemia and high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes.
