The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs)

    An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of vaccine, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.

    Measured: Complete study duration & 30 days after completion (up to approximately 7.5 months)

  2. Number of Participants Experiencing Unexpected Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs)

    An unexpected ADR was defined as an adverse reaction, whose nature, severity, specificity, or outcome is not consistent with the term or description used in the applicable product information.

    Measured: Complete study duration & 30 days after completion (up to approximately 7.5 months)

  3. Number of Temozolomide Misuse or Abuse Events

    Drug abuse was defined as the use of the study drug for a non-therapeutic effect.

    Misuse was defined as use of the study medication in a way that was not prescribed.

    Measured: Complete study duration & 30 days after completion (up to approximately 7.5 months)

  4. Number of Temozolomide Drug Interactions

    Drug interaction was defined as a chemical or physiological reaction that can occur when two different drugs are taken together.

    Measured: Complete study duration & 30 days after completion (up to approximately 7.5 months)

  5. Efficacy: Number of Participants Experiencing Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), or Stable Disease(SD)

    The response ratings were based on the judgment of the investigator.
