Tango Therapeutics reports 82% response rate in pancreatic trial; plans 14% job cut
Tango Therapeutics reported updated Phase 1/2 data for vopimetostat combined with Revolution Medicines' RAS(ON) inhibitors, with an 82% objective response rate in 22 efficacy-evaluable pancreatic cancer patients as of an August 20, 2026 data cutoff. The company also approved a strategic reprioritization on October 22, 2026, which includes reducing its workforce by approximately 14%, mostly in research, and deprioritizing novel target discovery. For shareholders, the data support a planned Phase 3 study, while the restructuring and the dose level 2 safety results add uncertainty.
