On May 31, 2026 Servier reported updated efficacy and safety results from more than three years of follow-up in the Phase 3 INDIGO trial evaluating VORANIGO (vorasidenib) versus placebo in patients with Grade 2 mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 or 2 (IDH1/2) glioma following surgical intervention and who are not in immediate need of chemoradiotherapy. These data, which will be presented at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) (Free ASCO Whitepaper) Annual Meeting on May 31 at 4:36 p.m. CDT in Chicago, strengthen the previous findings from the INDIGO pivotal trial and demonstrate the clinical benefits of VORANIGO continue to improve over time.

The extended analysis includes 21.3 months of additional unblinded data collected between the March 7, 2023, trial unblinding and the January 17, 2025, data cutoff. As of data cutoff, all 163 patients enrolled in the placebo arm discontinued treatment and 144 crossed over to the VORANIGO treatment arm. Median follow-up was 41.6 months. These results build upon the placebo-controlled, double-blind data previously published in The Lancet Oncology.
"The extended Phase 3 INDIGO trial analysis significantly improves our understanding of the clinical benefits of VORANIGO," said Islam Hassan, M.D., MSc., Global Head of Development-Neuro-Oncology at Servier. "With more than three years of follow-up data, these results validate the durable and sustained benefits of long-term treatment with VORANIGO and demonstrate a steady improvement in patient responses over time. We are proud to share these results and remain committed to expanding our understanding of the long-term impact of VORANIGO for the glioma community."
A global, randomized, double-blinded, Phase 3 trial of vorasidenib vs placebo in patients with grade 2 glioma with an IDH1/2 mutation (INDIGO): updated efficacy and safety – Sunday, May 31, 4:36 – 4:42 p.m. CDT
Key findings, which were presented by Timothy Cloughesy, M.D., David Geffen School of Medicine, Department of Neurology, University of California, Los Angeles, an investigator for the INDIGO trial, include:
Median progression-free survival (PFS) per blinded independent review committee (BIRC) was 44.1 months (95% CI, 27.7-not estimable [NE]) in patients treated with VORANIGO. PFS was the primary endpoint of the trial.
The median time to next intervention (TTNI) per BIRC for patients treated with VORANIGO was NE (95% CI, 52-NE). The number of next-intervention events remained low among VORANIGO patients (23.8%), indicating that VORANIGO is effectively delaying the need for subsequent treatment. TTNI was a key secondary endpoint of the trial.
Patients treated with VORANIGO experienced an objective response rate (ORR) per BIRC of 20.8% (95% CI, 15%-27.8%). ORR improved with longer follow-up, reflecting durable and gradual responses with VORANIGO. An additional 72.6% of patients experienced stable disease.
Median duration of treatment among VORANIGO patients was 38.3 months (95% CI, 19.98-43.76).
A 72% reduction in the rate of on-treatment seizures was observed in patients treated with VORANIGO.
The safety profile of VORANIGO was tolerable with mainly low-grade adverse events (AEs) and consistent with previously reported data. The most commonly reported Grade ≥3 or worse treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were increased alanine aminotransferase (10.8%), increased aspartate aminotransferase (4.8%), seizures (4.8%), increased gamma-glutamyltransferase (3%) and syncope (1.8%). No new safety signals were detected and fewer than 5% of patients discontinued treatment due to an AE. There were no treatment-related deaths.
"Historically, many patients with Grade 2 IDH-mutant gliomas faced a poor long-term prognosis and managed their disease with a ‘watch and wait’ strategy due to the limited availability of targeted treatment options," said Dr. Timothy Cloughesy. "The latest results from the Phase 3 INDIGO trial—the largest dataset in IDH-mutant glioma to date—provide valuable evidence on how long-term IDH inhibition can delay disease progression and extend the time to next intervention."
Impact of vorasidenib vs placebo on seizure rates and quality of life: exploratory analysis from Phase 3 INDIGO study – Monday, June 1, 1:30 – 4:30 p.m. CDT
Findings from an exploratory analysis of the INDIGO study evaluating the impact of VORANIGO on seizure rates and quality of life will be shared in a separate presentation. As of data cut off in January 2025, results show:
The rate of seizures per person per year in the VORANIGO arm (15.9 seizures per person-year [95% CI, 9.1-27.7]; p=0.0002) demonstrated the sustained, positive, long-term effect of VORANIGO on seizure control.
The effects of VORANIGO were more pronounced among people with oligodendrogliomas (6.9 seizures per person-year [95% CI, 2.7-17.7]; p<0.0001) than those with astrocytoma (17.5 seizures per person-year [95% CI, 9.4-32.3]; p=0.6448).
VORANIGO had an acceptable safety profile with no new safety signals during extended follow-up.
