In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

It is preliminarily clarified that belzutifan exerts an inhibitory effect on catecholamine synthesis in pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL), and its safety is simultaneously confirmed, thereby providing preliminary experimental results for the further exploration of belzutifan as a perioperative preparation drug for patients with PPGL.
