Vorasidenib, sold under the brand name Voranigo, is an anti-cancer medication used for the treatment of certain forms of glioma.[1][2] Vorasidenib acts to inhibit the enzymes isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) and isocitrate dehydrogenase-2 (IDH2).[1][2]

The most common adverse reactions include fatigue, headache, increased risk of COVID-19 infection, musculoskeletal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and seizures.[2]

Vorasidenib was approved for medical use in the United States in August 2024.[2][3] It is the first approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of a systemic therapy for people with grade 2 astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma with a susceptible isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 or isocitrate dehydrogenase-2 mutation.[2]

Medical uses

[edit]

Vorasidenib is indicated for the treatment of people aged twelve years of age and older with grade 2 astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma with a susceptible isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 or isocitrate dehydrogenase-2 mutation, following surgery including biopsy, sub-total resection, or gross total resection.[2]

Side effects

[edit]

The most common adverse reactions include fatigue, headache, increased risk of COVID-19 infection, musculoskeletal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and seizures.[2] The most common grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities include increased alanine aminotransferase, increased aspartate aminotransferase, GGT increased, and decreased neutrophils.[2]

History

[edit]

Efficacy was evaluated in 331 participants with grade 2 astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma with a susceptible isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 or isocitrate dehydrogenase-2 mutation following surgery enrolled in INDIGO (NCT04164901), a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.[2] Participants were randomized 1:1 to receive vorasidenib 40 mg orally once daily or placebo orally once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.[2] Isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 or isocitrate dehydrogenase-2 mutation status was prospectively determined by the Life Technologies Corporation Oncomine Dx Target Test.[2] Participants randomized to placebo were allowed to cross over to vorasidenib after documented radiographic disease progression.[2] Participants who received prior anti-cancer treatment, including chemotherapy or radiation therapy, were excluded.[2]

Society and culture

[edit]
[edit]

Vorasidenib was approved for medical use in the United States in August 2024.[2]

The FDA granted the application for vorasidenib priority review, fast track, breakthrough therapy, and orphan drug designations.[2]
