Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG)
The disease
A fast-growing tumour of the brainstem that mainly affects children. Most cases are now classified as diffuse midline glioma, H3 K27-altered.
The need
The tumour's location rules out surgery. Radiotherapy brings temporary benefit, and survival is usually measured in months.
Our approach
Screening brain-penetrant approved and clinical-stage compounds against the vulnerabilities created by the H3 K27 alteration.
