Abstract
Vorasidenib (VORANIGO®; Servier) is an orally administered, first-in-class, highly brain-penetrant dual inhibitor of mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (IDH1/2) enzymes being developed for use in IDH-mutant diffuse glioma. Vorasidenib received its first approval on 6 August 2024, in the USA, for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older with grade 2 astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma with a susceptible IDH1 or IDH2 mutation following surgery, including biopsy, sub-total resection, or gross total resection. Approval was based on results from the multinational phase III INDIGO trial, in which vorasidenib significantly improved progression-free survival and time to the next anticancer intervention relative to placebo. In the EU and other countries worldwide, regulatory review of vorasidenib in IDH-mutant glioma is currently underway. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of vorasidenib leading to this first approval for glioma.
期刊介绍:
Drugs is a journal that aims to enhance pharmacotherapy by publishing review and original research articles on key aspects of clinical pharmacology and therapeutics. The journal includes:
Leading/current opinion articles providing an overview of contentious or emerging issues.
Definitive reviews of drugs and drug classes, and their place in disease management.
Therapy in Practice articles including recommendations for specific clinical situations.
High-quality, well designed, original clinical research.
Adis Drug Evaluations reviewing the properties and place in therapy of both newer and established drugs.
AdisInsight Reports summarising development at first global approval.
Moreover, the journal offers additional digital features such as animated abstracts, video abstracts, instructional videos, and podcasts to increase visibility and educational value. Plain language summaries accompany articles to assist readers with some knowledge of the field in understanding important medical advances.
