TNG462 is an investigational MTA-cooperative PRMT5 inhibitor developed by Tango Therapeutics, designed to target cancers with MTAP deletions, which occur in approximately 10-15% of solid tumors. (ir.tangotx.com)
TNG462 selectively inhibits PRMT5 in the presence of MTA, a metabolite that accumulates in MTAP-deleted cancer cells. This selective inhibition aims to induce cytotoxicity in cancer cells while sparing normal cells. (ir.tangotx.com)
In a Phase 1/2 clinical trial initiated in July 2023, TNG462 demonstrated clinical activity across multiple tumor types, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and pancreatic cancer. As of October 2024, among seven cholangiocarcinoma patients, three achieved confirmed partial responses, resulting in an objective response rate (ORR) of 43%. The median time on treatment was 24 weeks and was still increasing at the time of reporting. (ir.tangotx.com)
TNG462 has been well-tolerated, with thrombocytopenia identified as the dose-limiting toxicity. Other adverse events, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fatigue, were predominantly grade 1 and occurred in less than 20% of patients. (ir.tangotx.com)

Goal: The goal of this trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of the investigational agent TNG462 as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with advanced or metastatic MTAP-deleted solid tumors.
Patients: Adults (≥18 years, ECOG 0-1) with advanced or metastatic solid tumors confirmed to be homozygous MTAP-deleted by next-generation sequencing or immunohistochemistry, who have previously received standard therapy and have adequate organ function.
Design: This is a multi-center, open-label, non-randomized phase 1/2 trial. The study proceeds via dose-escalation (phase 1) and parallel dose-expansion arms (phase 2) in various MTAP-deleted tumor types. Both single-agent TNG462 and TNG462 in combination with pembrolizumab are tested.
Treatments: Treatments under investigation include TNG462, an oral, selective MTA-cooperative PRMT5 inhibitor engineered to exploit the vulnerability created by MTAP deletions, which are present in 10-15% of solid tumors. TNG462 targets PRMT5 selectively in the context of MTA accumulation in MTAP-deleted cells, leading to cytotoxicity preferentially in cancer cells. Early trial results indicate a 43% confirmed partial response rate among cholangiocarcinoma patients, with manageable toxicity primarily including grade 1 adverse events and thrombocytopenia as the dose-limiting toxicity. Combination arms include pembrolizumab, a standard anti-PD-1 immunotherapy agent.
Outcomes: Primary endpoints include determination of the maximum tolerated dose and dosing schedule for TNG462 (alone and with pembrolizumab), as well as objective response rate by RECIST v1.1 or equivalent. Secondary endpoints encompass safety and tolerability (incidence of adverse events), pharmacokinetic parameters (AUC, Cmax, Tmax, CL/F, Vz/F, half-life), and exploratory pharmacodynamic markers (SDMA levels in tumor tissue).
Burden on patient: Patient burden is expected to be high, particularly in the dose escalation phase with frequent pharmacokinetic blood draws, possible on-treatment biopsies, and more frequent clinic visits for safety and efficacy assessments than standard care. Dose expansion cohorts may see a moderate reduction in burden but will still require regular imaging, bloodwork, and possible biopsies. Oral dosing may be convenient, but overall the trial involves rigorous monitoring typical of first-in-human phase 1/2 studies.
