$SLS appears to have had two clinical-trial operations employees end roles in September, including a senior clinical trial manager. For a company that reported only 13 employees, this is significant &amp; no job postings on the site. 
 
If the departures were coordinated and the positions are not replaced, one reasonable explanation is that SELLAS is preparing for a corporate transition. A potential acquirer such as $JNJ, $MRK or $ABBV already has extensive clinical-development infrastructure &amp; could easily absorb the functions performed by nonexecutive coordinator &amp; trial-management positions at a 13-person biotech. 
 
LinkedIn changes do not establish why either employee left or confirm an acquisition. However, viewed alongside the prolonged quiet period, REGAL nearing final analysis, no current job openings &amp; the June change-of-control amendments, the timing becomes another notable piece of circumstantial evidence. Watch for additional departures, replacement postings or a corporate PR.
