TNG462 for Solid Cancers
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new drug, TNG462, to determine its effectiveness in people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific genetic deletion called MTAP. Researchers aim to find the best dose and assess its efficacy in various tumor types, including pancreatic cancer and sarcoma. The trial seeks participants who have already tried standard treatments and whose tumors lack the MTAP protein, which specific tests can confirm. As a Phase 1 trial, this research focuses on understanding how TNG462 works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive this new treatment.
Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?
The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial team or your doctor.
Is there any evidence suggesting that TNG462 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that TNG462, also known as Vopimetostat, has been tested for safety in patients with MTAP-deleted cancer. In these studies, TNG462 was generally safe, with most patients tolerating it without serious issues. Some side effects occurred but were usually manageable. As these trials continue, more information will emerge. Since this is a Phase 1/2 study, researchers are still determining the safest dose. This phase is crucial for understanding how well patients can tolerate the treatment.12345
Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Unlike the standard treatments for solid tumors, which often include chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery, TNG462 targets MTAP-deleted cancers with a novel mechanism of action. This treatment works by exploiting a specific genetic vulnerability in cancer cells, potentially leading to more precise targeting of the tumor cells while sparing healthy ones. Researchers are excited about TNG462 because it not only offers a new approach to treating difficult cancers like pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, sarcoma, and mesothelioma but also shows promise in combination with pembrolizumab for enhanced effectiveness. This targeted approach could lead to more effective treatments with potentially fewer side effects compared to conventional therapies.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for solid cancers?
Research has shown that TNG462 may help treat certain cancers with a specific genetic change called MTAP-deletion. In studies, about 27% of patients experienced tumor shrinkage, meaning roughly one in four people saw positive results. Additionally, 78% of patients experienced either no tumor growth or a reduction in tumor size, which is promising. TNG462 works by blocking a protein called PRMT5, which cancer cells need to grow. This trial will explore TNG462's effectiveness in various treatment arms, including those for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, sarcoma, and other solid tumors. Some arms will also investigate TNG462 in combination with pembrolizumab for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). These findings suggest that TNG462 could be a useful option for patients with these specific genetic tumor types.12567

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors that have an MTAP deletion. They should have tried standard treatments, be in fairly good health (ECOG score of 0-1), and have no major organ issues. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, those with allergies to TNG462, uncontrolled illnesses, other cancer treatments ongoing or planned, significant GI absorption issues, active serious infections or liver disease are excluded.Inclusion Criteria

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?
Interventions
- TNG462
Trial Overview
The study tests TNG462's safety and how well patients tolerate it. It's a first-in-human study with two parts: dose escalation to find the safe amount to give people and then dose expansion focusing on specific tumor types. Up to 159 participants will take this oral PRMT5 inhibitor.
How Is the Trial Designed?
