Progression-free Survival at 6 Months and 24 Months Secondary · 6 months and 24 months

Number of patients who are progression free at 6 months and 24 months. Progression is defined as any of the following: greater than or equal to 25% increase in sum of lesions compared with smallest tumor measurement obtained, significant increase in T2/FLAIR non-enhancing lesions, any new lesion, clear clinical deterioration not attributable to other causes, or clear progression of non-measureable disease.

Sponsor's own description

The study is an open-label pilot study in newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients following surgery. Eligible patients will receive treatment with tumor treating fields therapy using the Optune device starting less than 2 weeks prior to start of chemoradiation. Patients will receive radiation and temozolomide at a routine treatment dose and schedule.
