Welcome to our dedicated page for Tango Therapeutics news (Ticker: TNGX), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Tango Therapeutics stock.
Tango Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: TNGX) is a pioneering biotechnology company focused on discovering and developing novel medicines aimed at targeting cancer vulnerabilities. Founded in 2017 with an initial $55 million Series A investment from Third Rock Ventures, Tango leverages the latest advancements in DNA sequencing and CRISPR-based target discovery. Their goal is to create breakthrough medicines that offer deeper and more sustained benefits than current targeted therapies and to extend the effectiveness of available immuno-oncology agents.
Tango Therapeutics concentrates on three core areas of drug development, each addressing well-defined patient populations with limited treatment options. These areas include:
- Loss of tumor suppressor gene function
- Multiple oncogenic drivers
- Immune evasion
The company’s robust product pipeline includes several promising candidates:
- TNG908 - An MTA-cooperative inhibitor of PRMT5 designed to selectively target cancer cells with MTAP deletions.
- TNG462 - Another advanced preclinical candidate aimed at targeting different cancer types.
- TNG348 - Recently entered Phase 1/2 clinical trials for advanced ovarian, breast, and other cancers with DNA damage repair pathway defects.
- Other discovery programs such as TNG260 and TNG348, focusing on different cancer types with limited current treatment options.
In recent developments, Tango announced dosing the first patient in the TNG348 Phase 1/2 trial, a significant milestone for the company. The trial will assess the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of TNG348 both as a single agent and in combination with olaparib, a PARP inhibitor.
Tango has established partnerships with several key players in the pharmaceutical industry. These collaborations have significantly bolstered their drug development pipeline. However, recent news highlights the termination of the TNG348 Phase 1/2 clinical trial due to observed toxicity, underscoring the inherent risks in drug development.
