Pipeline Update

Vopimetostat (TNG462) Clinical Update

• In October 2025, vopimetostat clinical data were announced in a corporate presentation. With a mPFS of 7.2 months, the data support the planned pivotal study in 2L MTAP-del pancreatic cancer anticipated to start in 2026.
• There is robust enrollment in the ongoing combination study of vopimetostat + RAS(ON) inhibitors in 2L+ MTAP-del, RAS-mut pancreatic and lung cancer patients. Vopimetostat in combination with either daraxonrasib or zoldonrasib have been well-tolerated to date with exposures in the active range for each compound. Initial data from the Phase 1/2 study are anticipated in 2026.
• The lung cancer cohort of the phase 1/2 single agent vopimetostat study is fully enrolled (n=41). Emerging data are consistent with expectations and an update is planned for 2026.
• 49% ORR and mPFS 9.1 months in a histology-selective cohort of 13 late line cancer types (excluding pancreatic, lung and sarcoma) provides further evidence of strong vopimetostat activity across MTAP-del cancers. 
• The data demonstrated a potentially best-in-class safety and tolerability profile at 250 mg QD, the go-forward dose agreed with the FDA. There were no drug-related dose discontinuations and ~8% dose reduction rate.
  
  
  
  

TNG456 granted ODD for the treatment of malignant glioma

• TNG456 is a potent, highly MTAP selective brain-penetrant PRMT5 inhibitor in development for glioblastoma, currently enrolling patients in a Phase 1/2 study.
• In October, the FDA granted Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) to TNG456 for the treatment of malignant glioma. This designation provides for a seven-year marketing exclusivity period upon regulatory approval, as well as certain incentives, including federal grants and tax credits.
  
  
  
  

TNG260 Clinical Update

• TNG260 is a first-in-class, highly selective CoREST complex inhibitor currently being evaluated with pembrolizumab in a phase 1/2 trial in STK11 mutant/KRAS wild type NSCLC, representing ~10% of lung adenocarcinoma annually in the US (~10,000 patients). Forty-one patients with STK11-mutant, locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors were enrolled, and 21/41 patients were evaluable at active doses. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was 80 mg QD.
• Data from the dose escalation portion of this study provide early clinical proof-of-concept in a pre-specified subgroup of patients with checkpoint inhibitor resistant STK11 mut/KRAS WT lung cancer. In this group (n=5), the mPFS was 27 weeks, more than double the standard of care PFS of ~10 weeks. There was no evidence of activity in other STK11 mutant cancers. Dose expansion is ongoing In the STK11mut/RAS WT lung cancer cohort.
• Details of this trial will be presented at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) Annual Meeting on November 7, 2025.
  
  
  
  

Upcoming Milestones

Financial Results

As of September 30, 2025, the Company held $152.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, in addition to $212.0 million in net proceeds from our underwritten public offering and concurrent private placement of common shares and pre-funded warrants to purchase common shares in October 2025, which the Company expects to fund operations into 2028.

Collaboration revenue was $53.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $11.6 million for the same period in 2024, and $62.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $25.9 million for the same period in 2024. All remaining deferred revenue from the upfront and research option-extension payments under the Gilead collaboration were recognized as collaboration revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2025 as a result of the truncation of the collaboration agreement, which concluded all research activities. Pursuant to the truncation of the collaboration agreement, no licensed programs were returned to the Company, all ongoing work at Gilead on licensed programs will continue and agreements for all future milestones and royalties remain in effect.

There was no license revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $0 and $12.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The license revenue recognized in the second quarter of 2024 is primarily due to licensing a drug discovery program to Gilead for $12.0 million during the period.

Research and development expenses were $30.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $33.3 million for the same period in 2024, and $100.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $110.0 million for the same period in 2024. The change is due to decreased spend on discontinued clinical programs (TNG908 and TNG348) as well as lower TNG260 and discovery program expenses. This decrease was partially offset by increased spend for the advancement of vopimetostat, TNG456 and TNG961.

General and administrative expenses were $8.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $11.2 million for the same period in 2024, and $31.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $32.7 million for the same period in 2024. The change was primarily due to decreased spend on personnel-related costs and external legal and patent costs.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $15.9 million, or $0.14 per share (basic) and $0.13 per share (diluted), compared to a net loss of $29.2 million, or $0.27 per share (basic and diluted), in the same period in 2024. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $62.8 million, or $0.57 per share (basic and diluted), compared to a net loss of $92.6 million, or $0.85 per share (basic and diluted), in the same period in 2024.
