Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Current exclusion criteria as of 07/06/2021: 1. Pregnant or breastfeeding women or women of childbearing potential unless effective methods of contraception are used 2. Multifocal glioblastoma 3. Secondary glioblastoma (i.e. previous histological or radiological diagnosis of lower grade glioma) 4. Known extracranial metastatic or leptomeningeal disease 5. Any treatment for glioblastoma other than surgical resection/biopsy and temozolomide chemoradiotherapy 6. Dexamethasone dose >3 mg daily (or equivalent) at time of randomisation 7. Intratumoural or peritumoural haemorrhage deemed significant by the treating physician 8. Clinically relevant, active, known or suspected autoimmune disease 9. History of significant gastrointestinal impairment, as judged by the investigator 10. Any evidence of severe or uncontrolled diseases (e.g. unstable or uncompensated respiratory, cardiac, hepatic or renal disease) 11. Known hypersensitivity to trial medications or any of their excipients 12. Past medical history of interstitial lung disease, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, drug-induced interstitial disease which required steroid treatment or any evidence of clinically active interstitial lung disease 13. Any condition requiring systemic treatment with corticosteroids (dexamethasone 3 mg or equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days or randomisation. Inhaled or topical steroids, and adrenal replacement steroid doses > 10mg daily prednisolone or equivalent are permitted in the absence of active autoimmune disease 14. Treatment with any other investigational agent, or participation in another interventional clinical trial (on the interventional arm) within 28 days prior to enrolment. Participation in other interventional trials after the final IPI-GLIO visit is permitted 15. Any other active malignancy requiring treatment/whose prognosis will prevent readout from trial-endpoints, exceptions include adequately treated cone-biopsied in situ carcinoma of the cervix uteri and non-melanoma skin lesions Previous exclusion criteria: 1.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Overall survival (OS). The treatment comparison will be reported as the hazard ratio (HR) plus 80% confidence interval. 18-month survival rates per treatment groups will be reported; Timepoint(s): 18 months from the last patient's randomisation

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Current secondary outcome measures as of 07/06/2021: 1. Any toxicity grade =3 graded according to CTCAE v4.03 and length of time for toxicity to resolve; Timepoint(s): From the time of patient consent until patient's end of study 2. Overall survival at 3 years including a treatment effect reported as a hazard ratio; Timepoint(s): 3 years from the patient's randomisation date 4. Progression-free survival (PFS) measured at 18 months from 30th April 2021 Previous secondary outcome measures: 1. Any toxicity grade =3 graded according to CTCAE v4.03 and length of time for toxicity to resolve; Timepoint(s): From the time of patient consent until patient's end of study 2. Overall survival at 5 years including a treatment effect reported as a hazard ratio; Timepoint(s): 5 years from the patient's randomisation date
