MEI Pharma announces 30% workforce reduction

MEIP plans to streamline its organization towards the continued clinical development of voruciclib and ME-344. As a result, it plans to initiate a staggered workforce reduction, initially representing approximately 30% of the current workforce in connection with the wind down of the zandelisib development program outside of Japan, which costs are shared with Kyowa Kirin, our global development partner. Following completion of the zandelisib wind down and associated workforce reductions, MEI expects that, along with any additional workforce reductions to be determined to fully align resources going forward, its existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund operations through clinical data milestones for both voruciclib and ME-344.
