Voranigo: New Brain Tumor Drug Developed After 16 Years of Research

A groundbreaking brain tumor drug, Voranigo, has hit the market 16 years after its discovery by Dr. Darrell Bigner at Duke University. Voranigo, developed by Servier Pharmaceuticals, targets the IDH-mutant glioma, a type of brain tumor, and was approved by the FDA earlier this month. Clinical trials have shown that the drug significantly delays tumor progression, offering a promising alternative to traditional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation. Voranigo is an oral pill taken daily, and ongoing research is exploring its potential use for other types of tumors.
