Shattuck Labs has revealed updated positive interim data from the Phase 1B clinical trial of SL-172154 combined with Azacitidine (AZA) for treating frontline higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (HR-MDS) and TP53 mutant acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

The trial showed a 67% objective response rate (ORR) in HR-MDS patients, with a 58% complete remission rate, while frontline TP53m AML patients exhibited a 43% ORR and 33% complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery.

SL-172154 demonstrated a manageable safety profile, with the most common adverse events being infusion-related reactions. The median overall survival for both patient groups has not yet been reached.

Shattuck is focusing on HR-MDS and TP53m AML due to competition and potential for accelerated approval pathways. The company will host a conference call on June 14, 2024, to discuss these findings further.

The company plans to present additional data from the Phase 1B dose expansion clinical trial of SL-172154 at the European Hematology Association 2024 Congress.
