Glioma
IDH-mutant astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma, IDH inhibitors, and BRAF- and H3-altered tumours.
Principal investigators and study chairs named on the registry for glioma, ranked by a published score: 3 per Phase 2+ trial they lead, 1 per other trial role, 2 per oral or late-breaking talk and 0.5 per poster in our verified 2026 meeting rows, each halved every 24 months. Paper authorship is not scored yet. PubMed counts are author name plus indication, for the top 12; names are as the registry spells them, so a common name can pool several people.
