CARY, N.C., Sept. 25, 2024—, an independent specialty pharmacy specializing in oncology and rare disease, was selected by Servier as a limited specialty pharmacy provider for VORANIGO (vorasidenib) for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 12 years and older with Grade 2 astrocytoma oroligodendroglioma with a susceptible isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) or isocitrate dehydrogenase-2 (IDH2) mutation following surgery including biopsy, sub-total resection, or gross total resection.
