Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To compare the effect on overall survival (OS) of the maintenance treatment with TMZ + ultra-hyper-FRT vs TMZ alone in GB patients;Secondary Objective: To compare the effect on progression free survival (PFS) of the maintenance treatment with TMZ + ultra-hyper-FRT vs TMZ alone in GB patients. To evaluate early/late toxicities/complications by organ/severity.;Primary end point(s): Overall survival defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Progression-free survival (PFS) defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of the first documented occurrence of disease progression or the date of death, whichever comes first.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24 months
