  • Must be able and willing to comply with study procedures
  • Must have received prior treatment with radiotherapy (conventional fractionated external beam) and (neo)adjuvant/concurrent chemotherapy (with a temozolomide- or a nitrosurea-based containing )regimen for GBM

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Must not have received prior treatment (except for surgical debulking) of first relapse (progression or recurrence) of GBM

  • Must not be currently enrolled in another therapeutic clinical trial for the treatment of GBM
  • Must not currently (or in the past 5 years) have other malignancies (except for adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer or non-invasive cervical cancer)
  • Must not have any of the following in the past 6 months: myocardial infarction (heart attack), severe/unstable angina, coronary artery bypass graft, symptomatic congestive heart failure, cerebrovascular accident (stroke), or transient ischemic attack (TIA)
