Vopimetostat and Daraxonrasib Demonstrated 92% ORR in Pancreatic Cancer
“In the first reported data from the clinical combinations of our PRMT5 inhibitor vopimetostat and RAS(ON) inhibitors, we saw extremely encouraging early results, with 92% of patients with PDAC in the vopimetostat plus daraxonrasib arm achieving an objective response, supporting the preclinical data showing synergistic activity of PRMT5 + RAS inhibition,” said Malte Peters, MD, Chief Executive Officer of Tango Therapeutics. “Equally important, we are seeing encouraging signals of durability, with 90% of PDAC patients still progression free at 6 months of follow up. In addition, both combinations were generally well tolerated. Our primary focus is now to bring forward the PRMT5 plus RAS inhibitor combination approach in pancreatic cancer, while also looking toward important upcoming data readouts for vopimetostat single agent in lung cancer and TNG456 in GBM which we believe represents significant long-term opportunity for our company.”
