Name Time Method Survival after initiation of trial treatment regime<br><br>[Assessed on an ongoing basis for study duration. The study is planned for a 4 year duration.];Rate of radiological tumour progression. This is assessed by serial FET PET scans.[5 weeks post-commencement of trial medications (baseline), and then 4, 9, 18 and 36 months after final TMZ dose];Change in quality of life (QoL) assessed by EORTC QLQ-30 and QLQ-BN20[Baseline, and then 6, 4, 9, 18 and 36 months after final TMZ dose];Change in performance status assessed by Karnofsky performance score[Baseline, and then 6, 4, 9, 18 and 36 months after final TMZ dose]
