- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Progression free survival at 6 months (PFS-6) up to 6 months All efficacy determinations will be based on the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) response criteria (Wen 2010)
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Progression free survival Up to 2-3 years Progression free survival defined as the time the patient enters the study until first progression or death whichever occurs first
Overall Survival (OS) Up to 2-3 years Overall Survival defined as the time the patient enters the study to the date of death due to any cause.
Adverse events Up to 2-3 years The assessment of safety will be based on the frequency of Adverse Events graded (grade 3+) according to the Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effects (NCI-CTCAE) version 4.0 scoring system.
