Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Response rate comparison between control and intervention groups. Timepoint: 1 to 2 weeks after last injection with the follow up of 3, 6, and 12 months after last injection. Method of measurement: Using iRANO (Immunotherapy Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology) checklist and using MRI and MRS.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Safety. Timepoint: After each injection to next injection and 2 weeks after last injection. Method of measurement: Using CTCAEs (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) checklist.;Overall survival and progression-free survival. Timepoint: After the end of the study. Method of measurement: using Kaplan-Meier method.;Analysis of CSF including: hematology, biochemistry, culture, cytokine level and immunophenotype of cells. Timepoint: Before each injection, CSF sample will be taken from patients for analysis. Method of measurement: using microscope and slides, spectrophotometer, enzyme assay, ELISA and Flowcytometry.
