TNG462 for pancreatic and lung cancer with MTAP loss
This trial tests a new drug called TNG462, alone or combined with other drugs, for people with advanced pancreatic or non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors have a specific genetic change (loss of MTAP and a RAS mutation). It aims to see if TNG462 is safe and works better than current treatments.

What taking part in a metastatic lung cancer study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
