Current report

In June 2025, the first patient was treated in the combination clinical trial that is evaluating TNG462 with each of RAS(ON) multi-selective inhibitor, daraxonrasib, and RAS(ON) G12D-selective inhibitor, zoldonrasib (Revolution Medicines). The combination of TNG462 with each of these molecules generated deep, durable tumor responses in preclinical models.

Current report

In May 2025, the first patient was treated with TNG456 in the dose escalation portion of the Phase 1/2 clinical trial to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and antitumor activity of TNG456 as a monotherapy. The trial is currently enrolling patients with MTAP-deleted solid tumors, with a focus on GBM. Preclinical data for TNG456 showed favorable potency and MTAP selectivity and sufficient brain penetrance to potentially have meaningful efficacy in GBM.

Current report

License revenue was $0 and $12.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The revenue recognized during the second quarter of 2024 was due to licensing a program to Gilead for $12.0 million during the period.

Current report

General and administrative expense was $11.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $10.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase of $0.6 million was primarily due to increases in facilities and IT-related costs.

Current report

License revenue was $0 and $12.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The revenue recognized during the second quarter of 2024 was primarily due to licensing a program to Gilead for $12.0 million during the period.

Current report

Research and development expense was $69.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $76.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease of $7.5 million was primarily driven by a $9.5 million decrease due to the discontinuation of the TNG908 and TNG348 clinical programs, a $2.5 million decrease in TNG260 clinical trial costs and lower discovery program expenses. This decrease was partially offset by increased spend related to the advancement of TNG462, TNG456 and TNG961.

Current report

Provision for income taxes was $0.1 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The tax provision is insignificant in each of the periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Previous report

Based on promising preclinical data, we plan to initiate a combination trial with TNG462, including RAS(ON) multi-selective inhibitor, daraxonrasib, and RAS(ON) G12D-selective inhibitor, zoldonrasib (Revolution Medicines). This trial is expected to begin enrolling in the second quarter of 2025.

Previous report

Based on preclinical data showing favorable potency and MTAP selectivity and sufficient brain penetrance, TNG456 will move into clinical development and focus on GBM. The FDA cleared the TNG456 IND in January 2025 and we plan to begin enrolling patients in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial in the second quarter of 2025.
Reworded paragraphs (18)

Previous wording

In November 2024, we reported positive early data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial of TNG462, demonstrating durable clinical activity across multiple cancer types with a good safety and tolerability profile. We are currently enrolling patients in the ongoing TNG462 Phase 1/2 monotherapy clinical trial and plan to provide a clinical data update on TNG462 in the second half of 2025.

Current wording

In November 2024, we reported positive early data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial of TNG462, demonstrating durable clinical activity across multiple cancer types with a good safety and tolerability profile. The TNG462 Phase 1/2 monotherapy clinical trial is ongoing. We plan to provide a clinical data update on this Phase 1/2 clinical trial of TNG462 in the second half of 2025.

Previous wording

TNG260 is a first-in-class CoREST inhibitor, which in preclinical studies reversed the immune evasion effect of STK11 loss-of-function mutations. TNG260 has a favorable safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic profile in dose escalation, and clinical proof-of-mechanism has now been established based on pharmacodynamic data from on-treatment patient biopsies. We are enrolling patients in the dose expansion portion of the Phase 1/2 trial and we plan to provide clinical data for TNG260 in the second half of 2025.

We are enrolling patients in the dose expansion portion of the Phase 1/2 clinical trial in STK11-mut/RAS WT lung cancer (~10% of lung adenocarcinoma). We plan to provide clinical data for TNG260 in the second half of 2025.

Previous wording

TNG961 is a development candidate targeting HBS1L in FOCAD-deleted solid tumors. FOCAD deletion occurs in 20-40% of all MTAP-deleted cancers. FOCAD deletion is common in NSCLC, occurring in ~7% of these patients. 20-40% of cancers with MTAP deletion have a coincident FOCAD deletion on chromosome 9, and cancers with FOCAD deletion are dependent on HBS1L for mRNA processing, thus protein synthesis. By degrading HBS1L and disrupting the HBS1L/PELO complex, TNG961 causes tumor regression in FOCAD-deleted preclinical models of multiple histologies.

Current wording

TNG961 is a development candidate targeting HBS1L in FOCAD-deleted solid tumors. FOCAD deletion occurs in 20-40% of all MTAP-deleted cancers. FOCAD deletion is common in NSCLC, occurring in ~5% of these patients. 20-40% of cancers with MTAP deletion have a coincident FOCAD deletion on chromosome 9, and cancers with FOCAD deletion are dependent on HBS1L for mRNA processing, thus protein synthesis. By degrading HBS1L and disrupting the HBS1L/PELO complex, TNG961 causes tumor regression in FOCAD-deleted preclinical models of multiple histologies.
