Enrolled patients had other VHL-associated tumors, including CNS hemangioblastomas and pNET.

Welireg is a hypoxia-inducible factor inhibitor indicated for the treatment of adult patients with von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL disease) who require therapy for associated renal cell carcinoma (RCC), central nervous system (CNS) hemangioblastomas, or pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNET), not requiring immediate surgery.
