Tango Therapeutics Announces Discontinuation of TNG348 Program
23 Mayo 2024 - 6:00AM
Business Wire
– The phase 1/2 clinical trial of TNG348, a
USP1 inhibitor, is being terminated due to toxicity observed in the
initial study cohorts –
– Cash runway extended into 2027, PRMT5 and
CoREST clinical programs remain on track –
Tango Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: TNGX), a clinical-stage
biotechnology company committed to discovering and delivering the
next generation of precision cancer medicines, today announced that
it will discontinue development of its TNG348 program.
“Patient safety is always our first priority and based on
emerging data from the TNG348 dose escalation study, we have made
the decision to discontinue further development of this molecule
due to liver toxicity experienced by patients in the trial. While
disappointing, we believe this is the right decision given the data
at hand,” said Barbara Weber, M.D., President and Chief Executive
Officer of Tango Therapeutics. “We will focus resources and capital
on our existing portfolio, particularly our PRMT5 program. We
remain committed to and confident in our ability to deliver a
comprehensive clinical update on TNG908 and TNG462 in the second
half of this year.”
TNG348 was being studied in a phase 1/2 clinical trial
evaluating safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and efficacy
as a single agent and in combination with olaparib, a PARP
inhibitor, in patients with BRCA1/2-mutant and other HRD+
(homologous recombination deficient) cancers. Grade 3/4 liver
function abnormalities were observed in patients remaining on study
longer than eight weeks, leading to the decision to terminate the
program. No patient had yet received a combination of TNG348 and
olaparib.

contribution to the ability of cancer cells to evade immune cell
killing. For more information, please visit www.tangotx.com.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this press release may be considered
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally
relate to future events, Tango’s future operating performance and
goals, the anticipated benefits of therapies and combination
therapies (that include a Tango pipeline product), as well as the
expectations, beliefs and development objectives for Tango’s
product pipeline and clinical trials. In some cases, you can
identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”,
“should”, “expect”, “intend”, “will”, “goal”, “estimate”,
“anticipate”, “believe”, “predict”, “designed,” “potential” or
“continue”, or the negatives of these terms or variations of them
or similar terminology. For example, implicit or explicit
statements include, but are not limited to, the following:
statements regarding Tango’s plans to progress its TNG908 and
TNG462 programs, including timing and expectations to provide an
update related thereto; and Tango’s expectations regarding its use
of capital and the extension of its cash runway. Such
forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and
other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially
from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and
assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Tango and its
management, are inherently uncertain. New risks and uncertainties
may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all
risks and uncertainties. Factors that may cause actual results to
differ materially from current expectations include, but are not
limited to: benefits of product candidates seen in preclinical
tests and analyses may not be evident when tested in later
preclinical studies or in clinical trials or when used in broader
patient populations (if approved for commercial sale); Tango has
limited experience conducting clinical trials (and will rely on a
third party to operate its clinical trials) and may not be able to
commence the clinical trial (including opening clinical trial
sites, dosing the first patient, and continued enrollment and
dosing of an adequate number of clinical trial participants) when
expected, may not be able to continue dosing, initiate dose
escalation and/or dose expansion on anticipated timelines, and may
not generate results (including final, initial or additional
safety, efficacy data and proof-of-mechanism and proof-of-concept)
in the anticipated timeframe (or at all); Tango’s pipeline products
may not be safe and/or effective in humans; Tango has a limited
operating history and has not generated any revenue to date from
product sales, and may never become profitable; other companies may
be able to identify and develop product candidates more quickly
than the Company and commercially introduce the product prior to
the Company; the Company’s proprietary discovery platform is novel
and may not identify any synthetic lethal targets for future
development; the Company may not be able to identify development
candidates on the schedule it anticipates due to technical,
financial or other reasons; the Company may not be able to file
INDs for development candidates on time, or at all, due to
technical or financial reasons or otherwise; the Company may
utilize cash resources more quickly than anticipated; Tango will
need to raise capital in the future and if we are unable to raise
capital when needed or on attractive terms, we would be forced to
delay, scale back or discontinue some of our development programs
or future commercialization efforts (which may delay filing of
INDs, dosing patients, initiation of dose expansion, reporting
clinical trial results and filing new drug applications); Tango’s
approach to the discovery and development of product candidates is
novel and unproven, which makes it difficult to predict the time,
cost of development, and likelihood of successfully developing any
products; the Company may be unable to advance our preclinical
development programs into and through the clinic for safety or
efficacy reasons or commercialize our product candidates or we may
experience significant delays in doing so as a result of factors
beyond Tango’s control; the Company may not be able to realize the
benefits of ODD or Fast Track designation (and such designations
may not advance any anticipated approval timelines); Tango may not
identify or discover additional product candidates or may expend
limited resources to pursue a particular product candidate or
indication and fail to capitalize on product candidates or
indications that may be more profitable or for which there is a
greater likelihood of success; the Company’s product candidates may
cause adverse or other undesirable side effects (or may not show
requisite efficacy) that could, among other things, delay or
prevent regulatory approval; our dependence on one or a limited
number third parties for conducting clinical trials and producing
drug substance and drug product (including drug substance, which is
currently sole sourced); government regulation may negatively
impact the Company’s business, including the potential approval of
the BIOSECURE Act; and our ability to obtain and maintain patent
and other intellectual property protection for our technology and
product candidates or the scope of intellectual property protection
obtained is not sufficiently broad. Additional information
concerning risks, uncertainties and assumptions can be found in
Tango’s filings with the SEC, including the risk factors referenced
in Tango’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2023, as supplemented and/or modified by its most
recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. You should not place undue
reliance on forward-looking statements in this press release, which
speak only as of the date they are made and are qualified in their
entirety by reference to the cautionary statements herein. Tango
specifically disclaims any duty to update these forward-looking
statements.
