TRIDENT-1 Phase 2 Study of Repotrectinib: Early Interim Data Update August 19, 2020 Exhibit 99.1

Statements in this Presentation that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding our research and clinical development activities, plans and projected timelines, business strategy and plans, regulatory matters, objectives of management for future operations, market size and opportunity, our ability to complete certain milestones and our expectations regarding the relative benefits of our drug candidates versus competitive therapies. Words such as “believe,” “can”, “continue,” “anticipate,” “could,” “estimate,” “plan,” “predict,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “may,” “goal,” “upcoming,” “near term”, “milestone”, “potential,” “target” or the negative of these terms or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, though not all forward-looking statements necessarily contain these identifying words. Because such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Risks that contribute to the uncertain nature of the forward-looking statements include, without limitation: our preclinical studies and clinical trials may not be successful; regulatory authorities, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may not agree with our interpretation of the data from clinical trials of our drug candidates; we may decide, or regulatory authorities may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or to modify our ongoing clinical trials; we may experience delays in the commencement, enrollment, completion or analysis of clinical testing for our drug candidates, or significant issues regarding the adequacy of our clinical trial designs or the execution of our clinical trials may arise, which could result in increased costs and delays, or limit our ability to obtain regulatory approval; our drug candidates may not receive regulatory approval or be successfully commercialized; unexpected adverse side effects or inadequate therapeutic efficacy of our drug candidates could delay or prevent regulatory approval or commercialization; the COVID-19 pandemic may disrupt our business and that of third parties on which we depend, including delaying or otherwise disrupting our research and development activities; and we may not be able to obtain additional financing. These forward-looking statements should not be taken as forecasts or promises nor should they be taken as implying any assurance or guarantee that the assumptions on which such forward-looking statements have been made are correct or exhaustive. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date this Presentation is given. Other risks and uncertainties affecting us are described more fully in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they were made. This Presentation discusses drug candidates that are under clinical study and which have not yet been approved for marketing by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. No representation is made as to the safety or effectiveness of these drug candidates for the use for which such drug candidates are being studied. Forward-Looking Statements

Recent FDA Feedback on TRIDENT-1 Study May Provide Faster Path to Potential Approval

•

Conference Call Scheduled for 8:00 a.m. EDT

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 19, 2020 – Turning Point Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: TPTX), a precision oncology company developing next-generation therapies that target genetic drivers of cancer, today reported early interim data from the registrational Phase 2 TRIDENT-1 study of lead drug candidate, repotrectinib, and announced recent regulatory feedback from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on the TRIDENT-1 trial design.

“We are very encouraged by the early interim data from the Phase 2 TRIDENT-1 study as they reaffirm our belief that repotrectinib has the potential to be the best-in-class treatment for patients with ROS1- or NTRK-driven tumors, including patients who are TKI-naïve and TKI-pretreated,” said Athena Countouriotis, M.D., president and chief executive officer. “Additionally, we recently received FDA feedback that may provide

a faster path to potential approval, including pooling of patients from the Phase 1 portion of the study treated at the recommended dose of repotrectinib with patients treated in the Phase 2 portion, and cohort sample size modifications. Hence, we are modifying the TRIDENT-1 study sample sizes and adding new interim analyses that may support approval into two of our ROS1-positive TKI-pretreated patient cohorts. We now anticipate providing an update in early 2021 on the overall study timelines.”

Early Interim Phase 2 Data from TRIDENT-1 Study

The early Phase 2 TRIDENT-1 dataset utilizing a July 10, 2020 data cutoff includes the first 39 treated patients who have had at least one post-baseline scan. Responses were confirmed with a subsequent scan at least 28 days later per RECIST 1.1 and were determined by physician assessment. Patients were enrolled across six countries.

Phase 2 Preliminary Efficacy Analysis (n=39)

•

Across all cohorts reported, median follow-up was 3.6 months (range: 0.4 – 7.4+), and median duration of treatment was 3.7 months (range: 0.7-8.2+)

•

In the ROS1-positive TKI-naïve non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) population (EXP-1: n=7):

•

Six patients achieved a confirmed response for an Objective Response Rate (ORR) of 86 percent. The duration of response ranged from 0.9+ to 2.0+ months and all patients who achieved a response remained in a response at the time of the data cutoff.

•

Since the July 10 data cutoff, the seventh patient in this cohort has achieved an unconfirmed partial response and remains on treatment awaiting a confirmatory scan.

•

In the ROS1-positive NSCLC population pretreated with one prior TKI with prior chemotherapy (EXP-2: n=5):

•

Two patients achieved a confirmed response for an ORR of 40 percent. The durations of response were 4.5 and 5.6+ months at the time of the data cutoff.

•

In the ROS1-positive NSCLC population pretreated with one prior TKI without prior chemotherapy (EXP-4: n=6):

•

Four patients achieved a confirmed response for an ORR of 67 percent. The duration of response ranged from 1.0+ to 5.7+ months with all four patients remaining in a response at the time of the data cutoff.

•

In the ROS1-positive NSCLC population pretreated with two prior TKIs with prior chemotherapy (EXP-3: n=10):

•

No objective responses were observed within this heavily pretreated fourth-line patient population, yet five patients achieved stable disease.

•

The company recently recommended to the study’s data monitoring committee (DMC) that expansion cohort three (EXP-3) be modified to remove the requirement for prior chemotherapy based on limited activity to date in this fourth-line patient cohort. The company’s intent is to only support third-line patients in this cohort going forward and to preserve the opportunity to evaluate these patients as the treatment landscape changes with less chemotherapy use. The DMC recommended the study proceed and agreed with the recommended change to cohort three.

•

In the ROS1-positive NSCLC population pretreated with two prior TKIs without prior chemotherapy (patients enrolled under the initial protocol and analyzed for efficacy in a separate cohort, EXP-Other: n=5):

•

Two patients achieved a confirmed response for an ORR of 40 percent. Both patients remained in a response with a duration of 1.9+ months at the time of the data cutoff.

•

In the NTRK-positive TKI-pretreated solid tumor population (EXP-6: n=6):

•

Three patients achieved a confirmed response for an ORR of 50 percent. The duration of response ranged from 1.7+ to 3.6+ months with all three patients remaining in a response at the time of the data cutoff.

Data from the Phase 1 (at all doses studied) and Phase 2 of the TRIDENT-1 study are summarized in the table below.

Preliminary Safety Analysis (n=39)

•

A total of 39 ROS1- and NTRK-positive patients were treated with repotrectinib at a starting dose of 160 mg daily (QD), with 90 percent of patients escalating after 14 days to 160 mg twice daily (BID) per the study defined dose titration approach.

•

Repotrectinib was generally well tolerated. The majority of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were Grade 1 or 2. The TEAEs (any Grade) found in greater than 25 percent of patients were dizziness (62%), fatigue (39%), constipation (33%), dysgeusia (33%), and dyspnea (28%). There were no Grade 3 cases of dizziness and no cases of dizziness leading to treatment discontinuation.

•

Additionally, the majority of treatment related adverse events (TRAEs) were Grade 1 or 2. There were no Grade 4 or Grade 5 TRAEs.

Regulatory and Study Updates:

Turning Point also announced recent feedback received from the FDA and modifications the company is making to the study design that may accelerate the timelines to potential approval for repotrectinib. The FDA reiterated that the adequacy of the data to support approval will depend upon the observed ORR and the duration of response assessed in the context of available therapy in a risk-benefit analysis during NDA review.

These updates include:

•

Phase 2 cohort sample sizes to support potential approval may include Phase 1 patients treated at the recommended Phase 2 dose. The pooling of Phase 1 and Phase 2 data may shorten timelines to potential regulatory submission based on fewer patients from the Phase 2 portion of the study.

•

EXP-2 Cohort (ROS1 TKI-Pretreated with one prior TKI and one platinum-based regimen): The company plans to decrease the sample size from current target of 100 patients to 60 total patients with one formal interim analysis after approximately 30 patients. FDA provided guidance that 6 months of follow up may be sufficient to support approval.

•

EXP-4 Cohort (ROS1 TKI-Pretreated with one prior TKI and no prior chemotherapy): The company plans to increase the sample size to a target of 60 patients with one formal interim analysis after approximately 30 patients. Previously, EXP-4 was an exploratory cohort in this patient population. FDA provided guidance that 6 months of follow up may be sufficient to support approval.

•

EXP-5 and EXP-6 Cohorts (TRK TKI-Naïve and TKI-Pretreated): FDA provided guidance that 9 months and 6 months of follow up, respectively, from the last

response may be sufficient to support approval. Previous guidance was 12 months for both patient cohorts.

Based on this FDA feedback and the subsequent sample size changes, the company is reviewing its timelines for when it expects the top-line interim analysis data sets will be achieved, and anticipates sharing those timelines as it gets closer to achieving full site activation in early 2021.

About Turning Point Therapeutics Inc.

Turning Point Therapeutics is a clinical-stage precision oncology company with a pipeline of internally discovered investigational drugs designed to address key limitations of existing cancer therapies. The company’s lead drug candidate, repotrectinib, is a next-generation kinase inhibitor targeting the ROS1 and TRK oncogenic drivers of non-small cell lung cancer and advanced solid tumors. Repotrectinib, which is being studied in a registrational Phase 2 study in adults and a Phase 1/2 study in pediatric patients, has shown antitumor activity and durable responses among kinase inhibitor treatment-naïve and pre-treated patients. The company’s pipeline of drug candidates also includes TPX-0022, targeting MET, CSF1R and SRC, which is being studied in a Phase 1 trial of patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors harboring genetic alterations in MET; TPX-0046, targeting RET and SRC, which is being studied in a Phase 1/2 trial of patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors harboring genetic alterations in RET; and TPX-0131, a next-generation ALK inhibitor in IND-enabling studies. Turning Point’s next-generation kinase inhibitors are designed to bind to their targets with greater precision and affinity than existing therapies, with a novel, compact structure that has demonstrated an ability to potentially overcome treatment resistance common with other kinase inhibitors. The company is driven to develop therapies that mark a turning point for patients in their cancer treatment. For more information, visit www.tptherapeutics.com.
