flag Nice drafts rejection of glioma drug vorasidenib over uncertain cost and survival data.

flag The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) has issued draft guidance rejecting vorasidenib, a daily pill for patients with IDH1 or IDH2-mutated low-grade gliomas, due to uncertainties in economic data and unclear evidence on overall survival benefits. flag The drug, which has shown promise in slowing tumor growth and delaying the need for chemotherapy or radiotherapy, has allowed patients like Taylor Pepper to maintain quality of life and avoid harsher treatments. flag Advocacy groups and medical experts express disappointment, calling the decision a setback for a rare breakthrough in brain tumor care and urging a reversal during the public consultation period.
