Vopimetostat clinical update 23 October 2025 Exhibit 99.1
Disclaimer and safe harbor statement Certain statements in this presentation may be considered forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events, Tango’s future financial and operating performance, goals, expectations, beliefs, development plans, as well as development and clinical trial objectives for Tango’s product pipeline (as individual therapies and combination therapies with other party’s drugs). In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expect”, “intend”, “will”, “path”, “achievable”, “milestones”, “goal”, “forecast”, “estimate”, “potential”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “predict”, or “continue”, or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. For example, express or implied statements concerning the following include or constitute forward-looking statements: the potential for Vopimetostat (TNG462) to be a best-in-class oral PRMT5 inhibitors; the Company’s belief that it has a significant opportunity to treat multiple common cancers; the potential for Vopimetostat to have best-in-class tolerability; the Company’s planned and ongoing clinical trials, including the anticipated timing for enrollment and the timing to report results and updates of such trials; the Company’s belief that Vopimetostat has the potential to be a best-in-class molecule for multiple MTAP- solid tumors; the potential for Vopimetostat activity in cholangiocarcinoma to indicate activity in lung and pancreatic cancer; the Company’s expectations regarding Vopimetostat as compared to competitor molecules; the anticipated milestones for the Company’s drug programs, including the timing for patient dosing, dose escalation, dose expansion, and clinical updates (including for combination studies); the timing of initial and interim (and final) safety and efficacy or clinical activity data and results from clinical trial(s); the timing of IND-enabling or registrational studies; the timing of disclosure for initial, interim, additional and final clinical trial results or safety and efficacy data; the expected benefits of the Company's development candidates and other product candidates (including for combination studies); and the potential for a large patient population to be treated with Vopimetostat; potential combination strategies and uses for Vopimetostat and the Company's expectations regarding the combination study with RAS(ON) inhibitors, including future enrollment, study design, and the ability of early signs of activity and tolerability to translate positive results. 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 at the time of this presentation, are inherently uncertain. Drug development, clinical trials and commercialization involve a high degree of risk, and only a small number of research and development programs result in commercialization of a product. 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: Tango has a limited operating history and has not generated any revenue to date from drug sales, and may never become profitable; future clinical trial data releases may differ materially from initial or interim data from our current and future clinical trials; Tango has limited experience with conducting clinical trials (and will rely on third parties to operate its clinical trials) and may not be able to commence any clinical trial, enroll and dose patients when expected and may not generate results in the anticipated timeframe (or at all); dosing (including dose expansion) in clinical trials may need be delayed or may be stopped for various reasons, including due to any potential issues at the site, safety issues or supply disruptions; any significant changes required to be made to an applicable IND application or protocol could significantly delay on-going clinical trials); the benefits of Tango pipeline products (stand-alone and as potential combination therapies) that are seen in preclinical experiments may not be present in clinical trials or in use commercially or may not be safe and/or effective in humans (and Tango or a third-party may not be able to obtain approval or commercial sales of any stand-alone or combination therapies); Tango has incurred significant operating losses and anticipates continued losses for the foreseeable future; Tango will need to raise capital in the future and if it is unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, the Company would be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate or discontinue some development programs or future commercialization efforts; Tango may be unable to advance the preclinical development programs into and through the clinic for safety or efficacy reasons or experience significant delays in doing so as a result of factors beyond Tango’s control; 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’s approach to the discovery and development of product candidates is novel and unproven, which makes it difficult to predict the time, cost of development, and likelihood of successfully developing any products; Tango may not identify or discover development candidates (including next generation products) or may expend a portion of its limited resources to pursue a particular product candidate or indications and fail to capitalize on product candidates or indications that may be more profitable or for which there is a greater likelihood of success; delays or difficulties in the initiation, enrollment or dosing of patients in clinical trials could delay or prevent receipt of regulatory approvals or reporting trial results; our product candidates may cause adverse or other undesirable side effects that could, among other things, delay or prevent regulatory approval; our dependence on third parties for conducting clinical trials and producing drug product; our ability to obtain and maintain patent and other intellectual property protection for our technology and product candidates or the scope of intellectual property protection obtained is not sufficiently broad; and delays and other impacts on product development and clinical trials from public health events. Additional information concerning risks, uncertainties and assumptions can be found in Tango’s filings with the SEC, including the risk factors referenced in Tango’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as may be supplemented and/or modified by its most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements in this presentation, which speak only as of the date they are made and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the cautionary statements herein. Tango specifically disclaims any duty to update these forward-looking statements. Certain information contained in this Presentation relates to or is based on studies, publications, surveys and Tango’s own internal estimates and research. In addition, market data included in this presentation involve assumptions and limitations, and there can be no guarantee as to the accuracy or reliability of such assumptions. Finally, while Tango believes its internal research is reliable, such research has not been verified by any independent source. This presentation shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
