Atea Pharmaceuticals is reviewing strategic opportunities after cutting a quarter of its workforce.
The Boston biopharmaceutical company, which develops oral antiviral treatments, said Wednesday it has engaged an independent global investment bank to identify possible opportunities, including partnerships on its Phase 3 program for a treatment of patients with HCV.
It also reduced 25% of its employees during the first quarter in an effort to reduce costs. The reduction is expected to save $15 million through 2027, Atea said.
