Phase 1 clinical trial of SL-325 ongoing, with data expected in the second quarter of 2026 –
Phase 2 clinical trial of SL-325 in patients with Crohn’s disease expected to initiate in the third quarter of 2026 –
AUSTIN, Texas and DURHAM, N.C., March 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shattuck Labs, Inc. (Shattuck or the Company) (NASDAQ: STTK), a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of potential first-in-class monoclonal and bispecific DR3 blocking antibodies for the treatment of patients with inflammatory and immune-mediated diseases, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025 and provided recent business highlights.
“SL-325 is now the first DR3 blocking antibody to generate human clinical data, and we are very pleased with the progress we have made in our Phase 1 clinical trial, which is nearly complete. We look forward to sharing the data from this trial in the second quarter, and anticipate initiating our Phase 2 clinical trial in Crohn’s disease in the third quarter,” said Taylor Schreiber, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Shattuck.
DR3 Program Development in 2025
Shattuck’s lead product candidate, SL-325, is a potentially first-in-class and best-in-mechanism DR3 blocking antibody for the treatment of Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and other inflammatory and immune-mediated diseases.
Recent updates and anticipated upcoming milestones for SL-325, and Shattuck’s other DR3 blocking antibodies, include:
The Phase 1 trial evaluating the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of SL-325 in healthy volunteers is ongoing and progressing as planned, and will determine the recommended Phase 2 dose and dosing schedule.
Enrollment of all six single-ascending dose (SAD) cohorts is now complete, and full enrollment in the final multiple-ascending dose (MAD) cohort of the trial is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2026.
Shattuck expects to disclose safety and tolerability, PK, receptor occupancy, duration of receptor occupancy, and immunogenicity data from this trial in the second quarter of 2026.
Subject to positive Phase 1 data and regulatory alignment, Shattuck expects to initiate a Phase 2 clinical trial of SL-325 in patients with Crohn’s disease in the third quarter of 2026.
Shattuck continues to develop multiple DR3-based bispecific antibodies. Shattuck’s lead bispecific antibody has entered IND-enabling activities.
This bispecific antibody was designed to inhibit both the DR3/TL1A axis and another biologically relevant target for the treatment of patients with inflammatory and immune-mediated diseases. Shattuck plans to disclose the targets of its lead bispecific product candidate, supporting preclinical data, and expected development timelines in the first half of 2026.

Capital Markets Update
In the first quarter of 2026, Shattuck sold shares of its common stock under its at-the-market offering facility for aggregate gross proceeds of $21.4 million. As a result of these sales, accounts advised by T. Rowe Price Investment Management, Inc. reported beneficial ownership of more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.
As of February 28, 2026, cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were approximately $94.5 million (unaudited), which includes the gross proceeds of $21.4 million from sales of Shattuck’s common stock under its at-the-market offering facility, as described above. This amount is preliminary, has not been audited or reviewed by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and is subject to change upon completion of the Company’s financial closing procedures.
Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2025 Financial Results
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investments:
As of December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were approximately $78.1 million, as compared to $73.0 million as of December 31, 2024.
Research and Development (R&D) Expenses:
R&D expenses were $9.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $15.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. R&D expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $35.3 million, as compared to $67.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. This full year decrease was a result of the discontinuation of the SL-172154 program and related workforce reductions and other pipeline compound costs, partially offset by an increase in SL-325 expenses primarily as a result of moving SL-325 into clinical development in 2025.
General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses:
G&A expenses were $4.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $4.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $17.2 million, as compared to $19.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. This full year decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in compensation and related benefit expenses as a result of workforce reductions in 2024 as well as a decrease in legal fees.
Net Loss:
Net loss was $12.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $18.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, or $0.37 per basic and diluted share. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $48.8 million, or $0.70 per basic and diluted share, as compared to $75.4 million, or $1.49 per basic and diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Financial Guidance
As of December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were approximately $78.1 million. Shattuck’s current cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, including the gross proceeds from its sale of common stock under its at-the-market offering facility of $21.4 million in the first quarter of 2026, and assuming the full exercise of the outstanding common stock warrants, are expected to fund operations into 2029. This cash runway guidance is based on the Company’s current operational plans and excludes any additional capital that may be received, proceeds from business development transactions, and/or additional costs associated with clinical development activities that may be undertaken.
About SL-325
SL-325 is a potential first-in-class Death Receptor 3 (DR3) blocking antibody designed to achieve a complete and durable blockade of the clinically validated DR3/TL1A pathway. Shattuck’s preclinical studies demonstrate high affinity binding and superior activity over TL1A antibodies, and offer a data-driven rationale for targeting the TNF receptor, DR3, versus its ligand, TL1A. SL-325 is a fully Fc-silenced, humanized immunoglobulin G monoclonal antibody with a favorable safety pro non-human primates, currently being evaluated in a Phase 1 clinical trial.
