Glioma

The EU has approved 9 indications of 5 drugs in glioma. 8 of them need a biomarker result: BRAF (6) and IDH1/2 (2). 6 tumour-agnostic approvals also apply when the tumour carries the alteration.

Label wording9

The sentence from section 4.1 of the SmPC that each indication above comes from.

  1. Everolimus (Votubia)
    Votubia is indicated for the treatment of adult and paediatric patients with SEGA associated with TSC who require therapeutic intervention but are not amenable to surgery.
  2. Vorasidenib (Voranigo)
    Voranigo as monotherapy is indicated for the treatment of predominantly non-enhancing Grade 2 astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma with an IDH1 R132 or IDH2 R172 mutation in adult and adolescent patients aged 12 years and older and weighing at least 40 kg who only had surgical intervention and are not in immediate need of radiotherapy or chemotherapy (see section 5.1).
  3. Vorasidenib (Voranigo)
    Voranigo as monotherapy is indicated for the treatment of predominantly non-enhancing Grade 2 astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma with an IDH1 R132 or IDH2 R172 mutation in adult and adolescent patients aged 12 years and older and weighing at least 40 kg who only had surgical intervention and are not in immediate need of radiotherapy or chemotherapy (see section 5.1).
  4. Trametinib (Spexotras)
    Spexotras in combination with dabrafenib is indicated for the treatment of paediatric patients aged 1 year and older with low-grade glioma (LGG) with a BRAF V600E mutation who require systemic therapy.
  5. Trametinib (Spexotras)
    Spexotras in combination with dabrafenib is indicated for the treatment of paediatric patients aged 1 year and older with high-grade glioma (HGG) with a BRAF V600E mutation who have received at least one prior radiation and/or chemotherapy treatment.
  6. Dabrafenib (Finlee)
    Finlee in combination with trametinib is indicated for the treatment of paediatric patients aged 1 year and older with low-grade glioma (LGG) with a BRAF V600E mutation who require systemic therapy.
  7. Dabrafenib (Finlee)
    Finlee in combination with trametinib is indicated for the treatment of paediatric patients aged 1 year and older with high-grade glioma (HGG) with a BRAF V600E mutation who have received at least one prior radiation and/or chemotherapy treatment.
  8. Tovorafenib (Ojemda)
    Ojemda is indicated as monotherapy for the treatment of patients 6 months of age and older with paediatric low-grade glioma (LGG) harbouring a BRAF fusion or rearrangement, or BRAF V600 mutation, who have progressed after one or more prior systemic therapies (for biomarkers-based patient selection, see section 4.2).
  9. Tovorafenib (Ojemda)
    Ojemda is indicated as monotherapy for the treatment of patients 6 months of age and older with paediatric low-grade glioma (LGG) harbouring a BRAF fusion or rearrangement, or BRAF V600 mutation, who have progressed after one or more prior systemic therapies (for biomarkers-based patient selection, see section 4.2).
