Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Determine the efficacy of this regimen, in terms of progression-free survival, in these patients. ;Secondary Objective: 1. Describe the adverse event profile of this regimen in these patients. 2. Determine the objective tumor response rate (complete response and partial response) in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme treated with temsirolimus and bevacizumab. 3. Compare pre- vs post-treatment measurements of biomarkers and vascular system/immune system parameters in patients treated with this regimen. 4. Correlate tumor and blood biomarkers with clinical response in these patients (VEGF, PTEN, Akt, p-Akt, p53). ;Primary end point(s): Response rate (MacDonald) Time to progression Progression-free survival Overall survival Safety (CTCAE 3.0)
