BOSTON, March 5, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tango Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: TNGX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company committed to discovering and delivering the next generation of precision cancer medicines, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025, and provided business highlights.
“We enter 2026 with a clear focus on execution, building on the significant progress achieved across our development portfolio in 2025,” said Malte Peters, M.D., President and CEO of Tango Therapeutics. “Our lead clinical program, vopimetostat, continues to demonstrate best-in-class potential, and we are on track to launch our first pivotal study in 2L pancreatic cancer this year. Strong enrollment continues in the combination study with Revolution Medicines’ RAS(ON) inhibitors, and we are encouraged by the early safety and efficacy data. Given the differentiated profile of vopimetostat enabling the potential for efficacious and tolerable RAS inhibitor combinations, we have entered into a supply agreement with Erasca for its pan-RAS molecular glue ERAS-0015 to further explore the potential of vopimetostat as the preferred PRMT5 inhibitor for combination therapy in pancreatic cancer and other tumor types. These activities are supported by our robust balance sheet, which provides cash runway into 2028, and plans to allocate capital with discipline in areas where we are best positioned to create significant value for patients.”
Clinical Pipeline Updates
Vopimetostat - MTAP Selective Once-Daily PRMT5 Inhibitor
Pivotal Study in Pancreatic Cancer. The company is on track to initiate a pivotal study for vopimetostat monotherapy in 2L MTAP-del pancreatic cancer, with initiation anticipated in 2026.
Phase 1/2 RAS(ON) Inhibitors Combination Study. Robust enrollment in the vopimetostat + RAS(ON) inhibitors combination study in patients with 2L+ MTAP-del, RAS-mut pancreatic and lung cancer is ongoing. Vopimetostat combinations with either daraxonrasib or zoldonrasib have been well-tolerated to date with encouraging early efficacy data. Initial phase 1/2 data are anticipated in 2026 and may inform an innovative development path to a pivotal trial in 1L pancreatic cancer.
Clinical Supply Agreement. Today, the company announced that it has entered into a clinical trial collaboration and supply agreement to evaluate vopimetostat in combination with ERAS-0015, a pan-RAS molecular glue (Erasca) in a clinical trial.

Financial Results
As of December 31, 2025, the Company held $343.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, which the Company expects to fund operations into 2028.
Collaboration revenue was $0 for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $5.4 million for the same period in 2024, and $62.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $30.0 million for the same period in 2024. All remaining deferred revenue under the Gilead collaboration were recognized as collaboration revenue during the third quarter of 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 twelve months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $0 and $12.1 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 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 $32.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $31.3 million for the same period in 2024, and $132.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $143.9 million for the same period in 2024. The year-over-year change was 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 $9.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $9.1 million for the same period in 2024, and $41.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $43.7 million for the same period in 2024. The year-over-year change was primarily due to decreased spend on personnel-related costs.
Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $38.7 million, or $0.29 per share, compared to a net loss of $30.8 million, or $0.32 per share, in the same period in 2024. Net loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was $101.6 million, or $0.87 per share, compared to a net loss of $130.3 million, or $1.19 per share, in the same period in 2024.

Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Tango and its management, are inherently uncertain. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: the benefits of product candidates seen in preclinical tests and analyses may not be evident when tested in later preclinical studies or in clinical trials or when used in broader patient populations (if approved for commercial sale); Tango has limited experience conducting clinical trials (and does and will continue to rely on a third party to operate its clinical trials) and may not be able to commence its clinical trials (including opening clinical trial sites, dosing the first patient, and continued enrollment and dosing of an adequate number of clinical trial participants) when expected, may not be able to continue dosing, initiate dose escalation and/or dose expansion on anticipated timelines, and may not generate or report clinical trial results (including final, initial, interim, updated clinical trial results or additional safety and efficacy data and the establishment of proof-of-mechanism and proof-of-concept) in the anticipated timeframe (or at all); future clinical trial data releases may differ materially from initial or interim data from our current and future clinical trials; Tango’s pipeline products may not be safe and/or effective in humans; Tango has a limited operating history and has not generated any revenue to date from product sales, and may never become profitable; other companies may be able to identify and develop product candidates more quickly than the Company and commercially introduce the product prior to the Company; the Company may not be able to identify development candidates on the schedule it anticipates due to technical, financial or other reasons; the Company may not be able to file INDs for development candidates on time, or at all, due to technical or financial reasons or otherwise; the Company may utilize cash resources more quickly than anticipated; the Company will need to raise capital in the future and if we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we would be forced to delay, scale back or discontinue some of our development programs or future commercialization efforts (which may delay filing of INDs, dosing patients, initiation of dose expansion, reporting clinical trial results and filing new drug applications); the Company may be unable to advance our preclinical development programs into and through the clinic for safety or efficacy reasons or commercialize our product candidates or we may experience significant delays in doing so as a result of factors beyond our control; the Company may not be able to realize the benefits of orphan drug or Fast Track designation (and such designations may not advance any anticipated approval timelines); the expected benefits of our product candidates in patients as single agents and/or in combination may not be realized; the Company may experience delays or difficulties in the initiation, enrollment, or dosing of patients in clinical trials or the announcement of clinical trial results, Tango may not identify or discover additional product candidates or may expend limited resources to pursue a particular product candidate or indication and fail to capitalize on product candidates or indications that may be more profitable or for which there is a greater likelihood of success; the Company’s product candidates may cause adverse or other undesirable side effects (or may not show requisite efficacy) that could, among other things, delay or prevent regulatory approval; our dependence on one or a limited number third parties for conducting clinical trials and producing drug substance and drug product (including drug substance, which is currently sole sourced); government regulation may negatively impact the Company’s business, including the potential approval of the BIOSECURE Act; the impact of trade restrictions such as sanctions or tariffs, legal actions or enforcement and inflation rates on our business, financial condition, and results of operations; inadequate funding for or disruptions at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or other government agencies may slow the time necessary for new drugs to be reviewed and/or approved or prevent these agencies from performing business functions on which the operation of our business may rely (which could negatively impact our business); uncertainty around the U.S. presidential administration's approach to governmental agencies and/or product candidate approvals may present challenges for our business or create a more costly environment in which to pursue the development of new therapeutic candidates; our success depends on our ability to obtain and maintain patent and other proprietary protection for our technology and product candidates; and the scope of intellectual property protection obtained may not be sufficiently broad. Additional information concerning risks, uncertainties and assumptions can be found in Tango’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including the risk factors referenced in Tango’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as supplemented and/or modified by its most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
