Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To improve overall <br/ ><br>survival in patients with methylation of the MGMT gene promoter by giving additional cycles of adjuvant <br/ ><br>chemotherapy (extended adjuvant TMZ) beyond the current standard 6-cycles of adjuvant TMZ <br/ ><br>chemotherapy (TMZ-6)Timepoint: 2-year overall survival,2- <br/ ><br>year progression-free survival, toxicity, and health-related quality of life.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
1.To identify optimal duration of extended adjuvant TMZ <br/ ><br>through a comparison of 12 cycles (TMZ-12) with 24 cycles (TMZ-24) of adjuvant TMZ. 2: To improve <br/ ><br>overall survival in patients with unmethylated MGMT using additional radiotherapy dose (dose-escalated RT) <br/ ><br>to metabolically active tumor identified though modern functional imaging (FET-PET/CT)Timepoint: 2-year overall survival,2- <br/ ><br>year progression-free survival, toxicity, and health-related quality of life.
