Progression Free Survival Primary · 6 months

To assess the anti-tumor activity of BGJ398 for patients with GBM and/or other glioma subtypes that harbor FGFR1-TACC1, FGFR3-TACC3 fusion and/or activating mutation in FGFR1, 2 or 3 based on PFS6 (PFS rate at 6 months as defined by RANO criteria as assessed by the investigator)

BGJ398X1.71.05 – 2.80
Overall Response Rate Secondary · 5 years

To further assess the anti-tumor activity of BGJ398 for patients with GBM with an amplification, translocation, or activating mutation in FGFR1,2,3 or 4, based on Objective Response Rate (ORR - patients with measurable disease - as defined by RANO criteria as assessed by the investigator

Adverse events — posted to ClinicalTrials.gov

Time frame: All AEs reported in this record are treatment emergent AEs, collected from date of First Patient First Treatment until the completion of the safety follow-up ( 30 days after the Last Patient Last Treatment ) up to approximately 5 years.. Reporting threshold: 5%. Adverse-event reports describe events observed during the trial — not all are caused by the drug.
