Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To evaluate if the Progression-free survival at the end of 6 cycles TMZm can be improved by DC-based immunotherapy incorporated in standard treatment of high grade glioma at diagnosis;Secondary Objective: • To evaluate the efficacy of induction of an immune response after versus during maintenance chemotherapy • To assess the overall survival of treated patients compared to historical controls • To assess quality of life during immunotherapy ;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is the blinded evaluation of the PFS after 6 cycles of TMZm, which will be compared between both treatment arms (week 36). | — |
