TNG908 is an investigational PRMT5 inhibitor with a novel MTA-cooperative binding mechanism designed to leverage the synthetic lethal interaction between PRMT5 inhibition and MTAP deletion. MTAP deletion occurs in 10-15% of all human cancer representing multiple histologies. MTA is a negative regulator of PRMT5 that accumulates as a result of MTAP deletion. TNG908 selectively binds the PRMT5-MTA complex driving selective inhibition of PRMT5 in MTAP-null cancers, which is postulated to create a large therapeutic index relative to PRMT5 inhibitors currently in clinical development. TNG908 is 15X selective for MTAPnull cell lines over isogenic MTAPWT cell lines, and has marked selectivity for MTAP-deleted cancer cell lines independent of lineage in a large, diverse cell line panel. In vitro mechanistic studies confirm that MTAPnull-selective PRMT5 inhibitors can selectively target MTAPnull cancer cells in either an admixture of MTAPnull and MTAPWT cells, or with intracellular MTA accumulation 2-5X relative to basal levels in MTAPWT cells. Oral administration of TNG908 drives dose-dependent, MTAPnull-selective antitumor activity in multiple xenograft models, including tumor regressions in models representing non-small cell lung cancer (adenocarcinoma and squamous), cholangiocarcinoma, urothelial carcinoma, and others. Preclinical studies suggest clinical combinations that leverage PRMT5 biology and/or concurrent oncogenic driver mutations, such as KRASG12C. In summary, TNG908 is a novel, potent PRMT5 inhibitor with excellent drug-like properties and strong preclinical activity in multiple xenograft models that has the potential for histology-agnostic clinical development in MTAP-deleted solid tumors.
