STTK Shattuck Labs Inc

Shattuck Labs, Inc. (Shattuck) (NASDAQ: STTK), a biotechnology company pioneering the development of novel therapeutics targeting tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily receptors for the treatment of patients with inflammatory and immune-related diseases, today announced a corporate update and highlighted upcoming key milestones anticipated in 2025.

“We have made considerable progress in the development of our potential first-in-class DR3 blocking antibody, SL-325,” said Taylor Schreiber, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Shattuck. “Based on observations from our preclinical, non-human primate (NHP) studies, we remain highly optimistic that SL-325 will achieve a more complete blockade of the clinically validated DR3/TL1A signaling pathway and are excited to be selected to present these data as an oral presentation at the upcoming European Crohn’s and Colitis Organization Congress. Our phase 1 clinical trial for SL-325 is expected to begin later this year, and we believe we are well-positioned to use resources efficiently to fund operations into 2027.”

DR3 Program Milestones Expected in 2025

• Preclinical SL-325 data readout from GLP toxicology study in NHPs expected in the first quarter of 2025.
• IND filing for SL-325 expected in the third quarter of 2025.
• SL-325 Phase 1 clinical trial initiation expected in the third quarter of 2025.
• Nomination of lead DR3 bispecific development candidate(s) anticipated in the second half of 2025.

Cash Position and Financial Guidance

As of September 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents and investments were approximately $90.1 million. Shattuck believes its cash and cash equivalents and investments will be sufficient to fund its planned operations into 2027, beyond results from its Phase 1 clinical trial of SL-325.

About SL-325

SL-325 is a first-in-class Death Receptor 3 (DR3) antagonist antibody designed to achieve a more complete blockade of the clinically validated TL1A/DR3 pathway. Shattuck’s preclinical studies demonstrate high affinity binding, superior efficacy over TL1A antibodies, and offer a data-driven rationale for targeting the TNF receptor, DR3, versus its ligand, TL1A. SL-325 is currently being evaluated in a GLP toxicology study in non-human primates, with an IND filing expected in the third quarter of 2025.
