We believe that the best way for patients to access investigational medicines is through a clinical trial. Our clinical trials are listed at ClinicalTrials.gov and include eligibility criteria. If you are interested in learning whether enrollment in a clinical trial is an option for you or someone you know, please consult with the treating physician, who can contact us as needed with questions.
When enrollment in a clinical trial is not an option, and all currently available treatment options have been tried, an investigational medicine may be provided before it is commercially available under programs called Expanded Access or Compassionate Use, which are regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration. Investigational medicines provided by Tango under these circumstances will always be given in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
The following are some considerations for compassionate use of Tango investigational medicines:
- Cancer with a documented MTAP deletion
- Potential benefit outweighs potential risks
- No satisfactory standard therapy exists
- Enrollment in a clinical trial is not possible due to eligibility criteria
- Providing the investigational medicine will not interfere with clinical trials that could support further clinical development or marketing approval
- The patient is able to travel to a medical center currently participating in a Tango-sponsored clinical trial (even though the investigational medicine would not be given as part of a clinical trial)
All Compassionate Use requests should come from a treating physician (compassionateuse@tangotx.com) and are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. We answer all such requests as soon as possible (but in any event, within five business days). Physicians who administer Tango investigational medicines through a Compassionate Use program must comply with all applicable laws and regulations and contractual conditions, including those relating to safety reporting.
