E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To assess the efficacy of addition of continuous multiple line bevacizumab treatment to lomustine in 2nd-line followed by standard of care (SOC) in 3rd-line and beyond compared to addition of bevacizumabplacebo, as measured by overall survival (OS) from randomisation at
first progression of disease (PD1). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To assess:
• overall survival as measured from randomization at PD1.
• progression free survival from randomization at PD1, to 2nd PD (PD2) (PFS2), and to 3rd PD (PD3) (PFS3).
• response rates (RRs), disease control rates (DCRs), and durations of response at PD2 and PD3.
• the safety of bevacizumab treatment across multiple lines of treatment and from randomization at PD1.
• HRQoL, neurocognitive function (NCF) and resource utilization
|
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |

• Prior history of gastrointestinal perforation or abscess
• Clinically significant cardiovascular disease, NYHA >/= Grade II congestive heart failure, or serious cardiac arrhythmia uncontrolled by medication or potentially interfering with protocol treatment
