Voranigo, which gained FDA approval in August 2024, is the first and only targeted therapy available for patients with grade 2 IDH-mutant glioma. The French drugmaker gained control over the asset in 2020 after purchasing Agios’ oncology pipeline for $1.8bn in 2020. Agios has since sold its royalty stake in Voranigo to Royalty Pharma for $905m. Under the terms of the agreement, Royalty Pharma will gain a 12% royalty on annual US sales up to $1bn and a 12% royalty on net US sales over $1bn.

As a once-daily oral inhibitor of IDH1 and IDH2 enzymes, Voranigo is indicated for use in grade 2 IDH-mutant glioma patients following surgery, including biopsy or gross total resection.

The Ion Torrent Oncomine Dx Target Test is the first FDA-approved sequencing-based diagnostic. Oncomine received its first approval as a companion diagnostic in 2017 and subsequently gained approval in August 2022 as a companion diagnostic for identifying non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients eligible for treatment with Daiichi Sankyo’s Enhertu (fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki). 

Oncomine is also approved for use in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) and thyroid cancer (TC).
