Tango and Erasca Initiate Phase 1/2 Study of Oral PRMT5 Inhibitor Vopimetostat in Combination with Pan-RAS Molecular Glue ERAS-0015

On November 4, 2026 Tango Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: TNGX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company committed to delivering breakthrough targeted therapies that extend and improve the lives of patients with cancer and Erasca, Inc. (Nasdaq: ERAS), a clinical-stage precision oncology company singularly focused on discovering, developing, and commercializing therapies for patients with RAS/MAPK pathway-driven cancers, reported that the Phase 1/2 study of oral PRMT5 inhibitor vopimetostat in combination with pan-RAS molecular glue ERAS-0015 in patients with MTAP-deleted pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and MTAP-deleted/RAS-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is now open for enrollment.

"The encouraging clinical activity, durability and tolerability observed to date with vopimetostat in combination with RAS inhibition reinforce our belief that co-targeting PRMT5 and RAS represents a promising new frontier in the treatment of pancreatic cancer and potentially other RAS-driven cancers," said Malte Peters, M.D., President and CEO of Tango Therapeutics. "We are thrilled to initiate this study in partnership with Erasca, a company leading the advancement of RAS-targeted therapies, to evaluate vopimetostat with ERAS-0015 and further explore the potential of this clinically validated and synergistic combination approach."

Jonathan E. Lim, M.D., Erasca’s chairman, CEO, and co-founder added, "Pairing ERAS-0015’s pan-RAS inhibition with vopimetostat’s PRMT5 inhibition creates a complementary, dual-targeted approach with the potential for deeper, more durable responses in patients with these difficult-to-treat cancers. We are excited to work closely with Tango, a leader in the development of PRMT5-targeted therapies, to advance this promising combination and evaluate its potential to deliver meaningful benefit for patients with pancreatic and lung cancers, where new treatment options are urgently needed."

About the Phase 1/2 Study of Vopimetostat in Combination with ERAS-0015
The Phase 1/2 open-label, multicenter dose-escalation and expansion trial, sponsored by Tango Therapeutics, is designed to evaluate vopimetostat in combination with ERAS-0015 in patients with MTAP-deleted PDAC or RAS-mutant/MTAP-deleted NSCLC. The primary objective of the dose-escalation portion of the study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of the combination regimen. Secondary objectives include assessment of antitumor activity, pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability. To learn more about this study, visit clinicaltrials.gov (NCT07897734).

About Vopimetostat
Vopimetostat is an investigational, potentially first- and best-in-class oral, once-daily, PRMT5 inhibitor that is being evaluated as a monotherapy and as a combination therapy in multiple indications. In ongoing clinical studies, vopimetostat has demonstrated a favorable safety and tolerability profile and shown durable activity in multiple tumor types with MTAP (methylthioadenosine phosphorylase) deletion, including pancreatic cancer and lung cancer.

About ERAS-0015
ERAS-0015 is an oral, highly potent pan-RAS molecular glue designed to inhibit RAS signaling with a potential best-in-class profile. Erasca is evaluating ERAS-0015 in the AURORAS-1 Phase 1 trial in patients with RAS-mutant solid tumors. Early dose escalation data in AURORAS-1 demonstrated favorable safety and tolerability, well-behaved, linear PK, and confirmed and unconfirmed responses in multiple patients across multiple tumor types with different RAS mutations, including confirmed and unconfirmed partial responses at doses as low as 8 mg once daily (QD). In preclinical studies versus RMC-6236, ERAS-0015 demonstrated approximately 8-21 times higher binding affinity to cyclophilin A (CypA), approximately 5 times greater potency in RAS inhibition, and greater in vivo antitumor activity in RAS-driven tumor models evidenced by achieving comparable or greater tumor growth inhibition or regression at doses that are as low as approximately one-tenth to one-fifth of the dose of RMC-6236. ERAS-0015 is also designed to prevent resistance against mutant-selective inhibitors through inhibition of RAS wildtype variants. In addition, ERAS-0015 has demonstrated favorable absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) and pharmacokinetic (PK) properties in multiple animal species.
