Science Stories
People with sleep conditions, such as narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia, have an increased prevalence of cardiovascular comorbidities compared to people without these sleep conditions. At Jazz, we aim to raise awareness of these connections through our research and partnerships with the goal of providing patients and healthcare providers with meaningful insights that can impact their lives.
As we deepen our commitment to oncology, we’re focused on bringing forward meaningful innovation for patients, especially those facing rare and aggressive cancers like H3 K27M-mutant diffuse midline glioma. With the FDA approval of the first treatment for this cancer, there is new hope for patients and families who are navigating this life-threatening disease.
H3 K27M-mutant diffuse midline glioma is a highly aggressive brain tumor most commonly found in children and young adults. Because of poor prognosis associated with this disease due to its deep location in the brain and aggressive biology, early identification and accurate molecular diagnosis are essential to help determine the best treatment course.
