Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To compare the overall response rate at ≥24 weeks after randomization in the Allovectin-7® arm versus the control (DTIC/TMZ) arm.

    After all 375 subjects are enrolled

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • To investigate the safety/tolerability of Allovectin-7® in comparison to DTIC/TMZ.

    After all 375 subjects are enrolled

  • To investigate the effect of Allovectin-7® in comparison to DTIC-TMZ on overall survival.

    After all 375 subjects are enrolled
