Susan Pandya: The beginning of a new era for patients living with grade 2 IDH-mutant glioma

Susan Pandya, Vice President of Clinical Development and Global Head of Cancer Metabolism at Servier, shared a post by Servier Pharmaceuticals on LinkedIn, adding:

“Today’s FDA approval marks the beginning of a new era for patients living with grade 2 IDH-mutant glioma – a community that has been waiting more than 20 years for a therapeutic breakthrough.

From the beginning, our journey to develop this novel therapy was ambitious, but rooted in innovative science and dedicated collaborations across the neuro-oncology community. Our mission was to strive to meet the needs of patients and fundamentally change the way the disease is treated.

I am humbled and immensely grateful to have reached this milestone alongside such esteemed colleagues, and most importantly the patients, caregivers, and clinical investigators who made this breakthrough possible.”
