"The second quarter marked a pivotal period for Tango, with milestones that validated our PRMT5 inhibitor pipeline and reflect the progress of our maturing organization. Notably, initial Phase 1/2 data showed vopimetostat plus daraxonrasib achieved a 92% objective response rate with encouraging durability in MTAP-deleted, RAS-mutant pancreatic cancer, giving us the confidence to move this combination rapidly into Phase 3 development for patients," said Malte Peters, MD, Chief Executive Officer of Tango. "As the Company transitions from a research-led organization into one positioned to bring vopimetostat to patients, our focus for the second half of the year remains on defining the registrational path for vopimetostat in front-line pancreatic cancer and providing updates from our broader pipeline. I am pleased with the progress we have made against executing on our clinical development plan, which is well on track, and the team continues to be laser-focused on bringing vopimetostat to patients as soon as possible. With our robust balance sheet, our cash runway carries us through our planned development and commercialization preparation in pancreatic cancer, as well as ongoing work across our pipeline."
Clinical Pipeline Updates
Vopimetostat – MTAP Selective Once-Daily PRMT5 Inhibitor
In June, Tango reported initial data from vopimetostat in combination with Revolution Medicines’ RAS(ON) inhibitors daraxonrasib or zoldonrasib in patients with MTAP-deleted, RAS-mutant pancreatic cancer. Data demonstrated that vopimetostat in combination with daraxonrasib achieved a 92% objective response rate and 90% six-month progression-free survival rate in this patient population, with a generally well-tolerated safety profile.
Based upon the positive Phase 1/2 data, Tango is working internally and has initiated dialogue with regulators and its collaborator Revolution Medicines toward the goal of developing a registrational plan and path forward for vopimetostat plus daraxonrasib in MTAP-deleted pancreatic cancer.
The Company plans to share data from the Phase 1/2 trial of the combination of vopimetostat plus RAS(ON) inhibitors at the 2026 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) (Free ESMO Whitepaper) Congress in Madrid, Spain from October 23-27, 2026.

Financial Results
As of June 30, 2026, the Company held $1.0 billion in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, which the Company expects to fund its current operating plan.
Collaboration revenue was $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 2025, and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $8.6 million for the same period in 2025. All remaining deferred revenue from the upfront and research option-extension payments under the Gilead collaboration was recognized as collaboration revenue during the year ended December 31, 2025 as a result of the truncation of the collaboration agreement which concluded all research activities.
Research and development expenses were $37.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $32.8 million for the same period in 2025, and $70.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $69.2 million for the same period in 2025. The change was primarily due to increased spend related to the advancement of the vopimetostat and TNG456 clinical programs. This increase was partially offset by decreased spend resulting from the impact of our portfolio prioritization efforts.
General and administrative expenses were $22.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $11.3 million for the same period in 2025, and $37.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $22.8 million for the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily due to increased spend on personnel-related costs, including share-based compensation expense.
Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $55.3 million, or $0.37 per share, compared to a net loss of $38.9 million, or $0.35 per share, in the same period in 2025. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $100.9 million, or $0.68 per share, compared to a net loss of $78.7 million, or $0.71 per share, in the same period in 2025.
