1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract

TNG908 is a clinical stage PRMT5 inhibitor with an 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. In this study, we demonstrate that TNG908 selectively binds the PRMT5·MTA complex driving selective inhibition of PRMT5 in MTAP-null cancers, a mechanism that creates a large therapeutic index relative to first generation PRMT5 inhibitors that have alternative binding mechanisms that are not tumor-selective. Strong preclinical activity in multiple MTAP-deleted xenograft models, as well as demonstrated brain penetrance in preclinical models, support the potential for histology-agnostic clinical development of TNG908 in MTAP-deleted solid tumors, including CNS malignancies. TNG908 is being tested clinically in patients with MTAP-deleted tumors, including glioblastoma, in a Phase I/II clinical trial (NCT05275478).
