Servier Breakfast Symposium - IDH Mutated Glioma: A journey from discovery to precision medicine
Virtual Guest Speaker: Prof Tim Cloughesy
Date: Tuesday 10 October 2023

Location: Hilton Sydney Hotel, Level 2, 488 George St, Sydney NSW 2000

Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutations have been recognised as an oncogenic driver in gliomas for more than a decade. IDH mutant gliomas are the most common adult, malignant primary brain tumours diagnosed in patients younger than 50, causing significant morbidity and mortality. In recent years, there has been significant progress in understanding the molecular pathogenesis and biology of these tumours, driving several therapeutically focused programs to improve diagnosis and treatment.
We invite you to join us as Prof Tim Cloughesy shares insights from his involvement in the clinical development of IDH inhibitors and the practical implications of the latest data guiding treatment of these challenging tumours.
Prof Tim Cloughesy
Professor of Neurology and Molecular and Medical Pharmacology
