Combining TNG260 with pembrolizumab for treating STK11 mutated solid tumors

A Phase 1/2, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Efficacy of TNG260 as Single Agent and in Combination With an Anti-PD-1 Antibody In Patients With STK11 Mutated Advanced Solid Tumors

Phase1; Phase2 Interventional Tango Therapeutics, Inc. · NCT05887492

This study is testing a new treatment combining TNG260 and pembrolizumab to see if it can help people with advanced solid tumors that have an STK11 mutation.

What this trial studies

This interventional clinical trial aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of TNG260, a CoREST inhibitor, in combination with pembrolizumab for patients with advanced solid tumors harboring an STK11 mutation. The study is designed as a first-in-human Phase 1/2 trial, which will involve dose escalation to determine the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended dose for Phase 2. Participants will receive the treatment until they experience adverse effects, disease progression, or choose to withdraw from the study. The trial will also assess the pharmacokinetics of TNG260 and its initial antineoplastic activity.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have a documented STK11 mutation.

Not a fit: Patients without an STK11 mutation or those with uncontrolled intercurrent illnesses may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with STK11 mutated solid tumors, potentially improving their outcomes.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is novel in its specific combination, similar studies targeting STK11 mutations have shown promise in other contexts.
