Medical Uses
MODEYSO (dordaviprone) capsules, from Chimerix, are indicated for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 1 year of age and older with diffuse midline glioma, H3 K27M-mutant, that has progressed following prior treatment, based on overall response rate and duration of response.
Dordaviprone is a small-molecule imipridone that selectively activates the mitochondrial protease ClpP and antagonizes dopamine receptor D2, disrupting mitochondrial function and cell signaling pathways in tumor cells carrying the H3 K27M mutation, leading to tumor cell death.
