Thrilled to share our work with Mariella Filbin, Johannes Gojo and Carl Koschmann, now published in @cp-cancercell.bsky.social We present a translational approach identifying the PDGFRA inhibitor avapritinib as a novel targeted treatment for pHGG with PDGFRA alterations www.cell.com/cancer-cell/...
Effective targeting of PDGFRA-altered high-grade glioma with avapritinib
PDGFRA is commonly altered in pediatric HGG. Mayr et al. report that the PDGFRA/KIT inhibitor avapritinib demonstrates on-target activity, brain penetrance, and survival benefit in pre-clinical H3K27M...
