Viracta Therapeutics plans to wind down operations and has terminated its employees.

The clinical-stage precision oncology company on Wednesday said that it named Chief Executive Craig Jalbert, who took over the top job last March, as the sole member of the board to implement the wind down.

The company said that it's also exploring potential strategic alternatives for its development programs.

The decision comes about a month after the company said its board had initiated a process to explore strategic options, and that it had decided to close a Phase 2 trial of Naval-1, which was evaluating the drug as a treatment for certain lymphoma patients, to maximize its cash runway.

In November, the company said it was cutting its workforce and reducing the size of the board to six from 10.
