Annotation of FDA Label for vorasidenib and IDH1, IDH2

Excerpts from the vorasidenib (VORANIGO) label:

VORANIGO is an isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) and isocitrate dehydrogenase-2 (IDH2) inhibitor indicated for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 12 years and older with Grade 2 astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma with a susceptible IDH1 or IDH2 mutation, as detected by an FDA-approved test, following surgery including biopsy, sub-total resection, or gross total resection.

Select patients with Grade 2 astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma for treatment with VORANIGO based on the presence of IDH1 or IDH2 mutations in tumor specimens [see Clinical Studies (14)].

Information on FDA-approved tests for detection of IDH1 or IDH2 mutations in Grade 2 astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma for selecting patients for treatment with VORANIGO is available at: https://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics.

Vorasidenib is a small molecule inhibitor that targets isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 and 2 (IDH1 and IDH2) enzymes. In vitro, vorasidenib inhibited the IDH1 wild type and mutant variants, including R132H and the IDH2 wild type and mutant variants. In cell-based and in vivo tumor models expressing IDH1 or IDH2 mutated proteins, vorasidenib decreased production of 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG) and partially restored cellular differentiation.
