Pipeline

A powerful approach

We are leveraging the genetic principle of synthetic lethality and the power of our state-of-the-art CRISPR-based target discovery engine to discover and validate multiple novel targets each year. Our growing pipeline consists of programs for genetically defined subsets of cancers with limited treatment options.

PRMT5 TNG908

Phase 3
Additional clinical data in 2024
Phase 1/2
Patients: MTAP-del cancers
Anticipated Milestones: Additional clinical data in 2024

Our Phase 1/2 first-in-human trial to evaluate TNG908 in patients with MTAP-deleted tumors is being conducted in two parts. The dose escalation phase will evaluate safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in patients with locally advanced or metastatic cancer of any histology with an MTAP deletion. After determining the optimally-effective dose for TNG908, we will further evaluate safety and efficacy in multiple tumor types in specific cohorts, including malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST – a rare sarcoma), non-small cell lung cancer, mesothelioma, cholangiocarcinoma, and glioblastoma. In parallel, we will enroll a histology-agnostic arm to evaluate all other tumor types with MTAP deletion. Given that MTAP deletion occurs in approximately 10-15% of human cancers, we may open other histology-specific arms based on activity observed in the trial.

Patients are being actively enrolled in the Phase 1/2 clinical trial. We expect to provide an update on the ongoing dose escalation portion of the Phase 1/2 trial in 2024.

PRMT5 TNG462
MTAP-del cancers
Dose escalation ongoing
Phase 1/2
Patients: MTAP-del cancers
Anticipated Milestones: Dose escalation ongoing

TNG462 is in the dose-escalation portion of a Phase 1/2 trial, and the clinical development path is similar to TNG908, evaluating safety and efficacy in multiple tumor types. Glioblastoma will be excluded from the Phase 1/2 trial as TNG462 does not cross the blood-brain barrier in preclinical models.

CoREST TNG260
STK11-mut cancers
Dose escalation ongoing
Phase 1/2
Patients: STK11-mut cancers
Anticipated Milestones: Dose escalation ongoing

The TNG260 clinical development plan will be among the first to combine the power of genetic patient selection and immunotherapy. TNG260 is in the dose escalation portion of a Phase 1/2 trial, being evaluated in combination with pembrolizumab for the treatment of STK11-mutant cancers.

USP1 TNG348
BRCA 1/2-mut and other HRD+ cancers
Dose escalation ongoing
Phase 1/2
Patients: BRCA 1/2-mut and other HRD+ cancers
Anticipated Milestones: Dose escalation ongoing

TNG348 is in the dose-escalation portion of a Phase 1/2 trial evaluating the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and efficacy of TNG348 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. Clinically, we expect TNG348 to have single agent activity in PARP inhibitor-naïve and PARP inhibitor-resistant BRCA1/2 mutant and other HRD+ cancers, and to synergize with PARP inhibitors.

Partnerships

Our global strategic collaboration with Gilead Sciences is focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of a pipeline of innovative targeted immune evasion therapies for patients with cancer. We are responsible for discovering and validating targets and for advancing select programs through clinical proof-of-concept. Gilead has options to worldwide rights on up to 15 of those targets. We retain the option to co-develop and co-promote the lead products for up to five of those programs in the U.S. with Gilead.

The collaboration, which was originally signed in 2018 and expanded in 2020, does not include our three lead programs. We retain all rights to those programs, along with the right to targets we have identified outside of the immune evasion space. We are committed to advancing the programs in our wholly owned pipeline into the clinic and beyond, as part of our mission to deliver the next generation of transformational targeted therapies to patients in need.
