Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: • To compare all cause mortality in patients receiving CereproTM with subsequent GCV for the treatment of operable primary or recurrent high-grade glioma when used as an adjuvant to standard therapy ;Secondary Objective: • To compare progression-free survival in patients with operable primary or recurrent glioma treated with CereproTM/GCV compared to those receiving standard therapy alone • To assess the safety of CereproTM/GCV therapy in patients with operable primary or recurrent glioma. • To assess the Quality of Life of patients receiving CereproTM/GCV therapy compared with those receiving standard therapy alone ;Primary end point(s): Primary efficacy endpoint: • All cause mortality
