Notable Labs said it is pausing implementation of the planned Phase 2 study of cancer drug Volasertib in relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia.

The biotechnology company also said Thursday it will reduce its workforce and outside consultants by approximately 65%.

The decisions, which will conserve cash, follow the board's approval of a streamlined operating plan which includes exploring strategic alternatives, according to the company.

Notable expects to incur about $100,000 in total charges related to the reduction in force.

Following the announcement, the company's shares rose in the after-hours market, gaining 5% to trade at 50 cents. They closed the day's regular trading session at 47 cents, gaining 5.5%.

Last month, the company named Joseph Wagner as its interim chief executive. Wagner succeeded Thomas Bock, who will continue to serve as a consultant.

Notable has initiated a search for a permanent CEO.
