Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of Nimotuzumab in combination with WBRT. The primary endpoint is intracranial disease progression over 6 months.Timepoint: 6 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The secondary endpoints are overall survival (OS); progression of intracranial disease at 2, 4 and 6 months; time to neurologic progression (TNP) or death with evidence of neurologic progression; OS rate at 6 months; time to intracranial disease progression; and time to overall progression. Tissue samples and serum will be collected for future correlative studies. Timepoint: 6 months
