How vorasidenib is dosed

From the FDA label for Voranigo (application NDA218784). Other vorasidenib products — different forms, different strengths — are dosed differently. Follow the label for the one you were prescribed.

Recommended dosage in adults: ( 2.3 ) 40 mg orally once daily Recommended dosage in pediatric patients 12 years of age and older based on body weight: ( 2.3 ) ≥40 kg : 40 mg orally once daily <40 kg : 20 mg orally once daily Take with or without food. ( 2.3 ) 2.1 Recommended Evaluation Before Initiating VORANIGO Before initiating VORANIGO, evaluate blood chemistry and liver laboratory tests [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. 2.2 Patient Selection 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 . 2.3 Recommended Dosage and Administration Recommended Dosage Adult Patients The recommended dosage of VORANIGO in adult patients is 40 mg orally once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Pediatric Patients 12 Years and Older The recommended dosage of VORANIGO in pediatric patients 12 years and older is based on body weight: Patients weighing ≥40 kg: 40 mg orally once daily Patients weighing <40 kg: 20 mg orally once daily Continue treatment with VORANIGO until disease…

Vorasidenib side effects

The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] The most common (≥15%) adverse reactions include fatigue, headache, COVID-19, musculoskeletal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and seizure. Grade 3 or 4 (≥2%) laboratory abnormalities were ALT increased, AST increased, GGT increased, and neutrophils decreased. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Servier Pharmaceuticals at 1-800-807-6124 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Adverse reactions described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflect exposure to VORANIGO 40 mg orally once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity in the 244 patients with astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma with susceptible IDH1 or IDH2 mutation in trials AG881-C-002 (NCT02481154, n=11), AG120-881-001 (NCT03343197, n=14) and INDIGO (NCT04164901, n=167 randomized patients and n=52 crossover patients). Among the 244 patients who received VORANIGO, 78% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 44% were exposed for greater than one year. In…

Vorasidenib drug interactions

CYP1A2 Inhibitors : Avoid concomitant use of strong and moderate CYP1A2 inhibitors. ( 7.1 ) CYP1A2 Inducers : Avoid concomitant use of moderate CYP1A2 inducers and smoking tobacco. ( 7.1 ) Certain CYP3A Substrates : Avoid concomitant use with CYP3A substrates, where a minimal concentration change can reduce efficacy. ( 7.2 ) Hormonal Contraception : If concomitant use cannot be avoided, use with nonhormonal contraception methods. ( 7.2 ) 7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on VORANIGO Table 5: Effect of Other Drugs on VORANIGO Strong and Moderate CYP1A2 Inhibitors Clinical Impact Concomitant use of VORANIGO with a strong or moderate CYP1A2 inhibitor may increase vorasidenib plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions. Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use of VORANIGO with strong and moderate CYP1A2 inhibitors. If concomitant use of moderate CYP1A2 inhibitors cannot be avoided, monitor for increased adverse reactions and modify the dosage for adverse reactions as recommended [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ] . Moderate CYP1A2 Inducers Clinical Impact Concomitant use of VORANIGO with moderate CYP1A2 inducers and smoking tobacco may decrease vorasidenib plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may reduce the anti-tumor activity of VORANIGO. Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use of VORANIGO with moderate CYP1A2 inducers and smoking tobacco. 7.2 Effect of VORANIGO on Other Drugs Table 6: Effect of VORANIGO on Other Drugs Certain CYP3A Substrates Clinical Impact Concomitant use of VORANIGO with CYP3A substrates may decrease plasma concentrations of CYP3A substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use of VORANIGO with CYP3A substrates, where a minimal concentration change may lead to reduced therapeutic effect. Hormonal Contraception Clinical Impact Concomitant use of VORANIGO may decrease the concentrations of hormonal contraceptives, which may lead to contraception failure and/or an increase in breakthrough bleeding [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Prevention or Management If concomitant use cannot be avoided, use with nonhormonal contraception methods.

Can you crush or split vorasidenib?

At least one vorasidenibproduct is labelled to be swallowed whole — crushing an extended-release tablet releases the whole day’s dose at once. Which applies depends on the form you were given.

What each vorasidenib label says about crushing, splitting and chewing

What people report to the FDA about vorasidenib

The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 285 reports naming vorasidenib, and the FDA flagged 94% of those reports as serious. The effects reported most often — leaving out reports about overdose, misuse or the condition being treated, which dominate the raw list for common medicines:

  • alanine aminotransferase increased37 reports
  • hepatic cytolysis31 reports
  • aspartate aminotransferase increased30 reports
  • fatigue28 reports
  • malignant neoplasm progression24 reports
  • headache22 reports
  • nausea16 reports
  • hepatic enzyme increased14 reports

Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean vorasidenib caused the effect — anyone can file one, and many describe people taking several medicines for several conditions. Crucially there is no denominator: FAERS does not record how many people took the drug, so these counts cannot be turned into “X% of patients” — a bigger number often just means a more widely used or more talked-about drug. Duplicates exist, and publicity drives reporting. For what is actually established, read the FDA label section above.

Frequently asked questions

What is vorasidenib?

VORANIGO tablets contain vorasidenib, an isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) and isocitrate dehydrogenase-2 (IDH2) inhibitor. Vorasidenib is present as the hemicitric acid hemihydrate co-crystal.

Can you take vorasidenib with other medicines?

It depends on the medicine. We check it against the FDA labels rather than guessing: our interaction checker searches each drug's own label for the other and quotes what it says, naming the section it came from. Run vorasidenib against whatever else you take — and remember that a label not naming a drug is not the same as that combination being safe.

What forms does vorasidenib come in?

Across the brands we track, vorasidenib is currently marketed as tablet, per the FDA's National Drug Code Directory. Each form is dosed differently — follow the label for the exact product you were prescribed.

Is there a generic vorasidenib?

We do not currently list a generic-labelled vorasidenib product. That does not always mean none exists — it means none appears under a generic name in the FDA data we track. Ask your pharmacist.
