The conversation, which occurred at the 2024 AAN Annual Meeting, covered the covered the therapeutic potential of this agent and its impacts on quality of life, neurocognition, and seizure control. Peters, an expert in the field, provided insight on the mechanism of action of vorasidenib, the added value behind the exploratory analysis, and the next steps in research.
