An announcement from Zentalis Pharmaceuticals ( (ZNTL) ) is now available.

On January 22, 2025, Zentalis Pharmaceuticals announced a strategic restructuring, including a workforce reduction of approximately 40%, to support the late-stage development of its WEE1 inhibitor product candidate, azenosertib. The restructuring aims to extend the company’s cash runway beyond the anticipated 2026 data readout from the DENALI Part 2 study. The company expects to incur one-time costs of approximately $7.0–8.0 million due to the workforce reduction, which is expected to be largely completed by the second quarter of 2025. This move is intended to efficiently allocate resources to advance azenosertib’s development and potentially bring it to market for patients with gynecological malignancies, thereby solidifying Zentalis’ position in the oncology therapeutics market.
