What is being measured

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

  1. To assess the efficacy of TLN-4601 in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) as measured by 6-month progression free survival from date of initial infusion of TLN-4601 (Day 1, Cycle 1).

    Measured: 6-month progression free survival from date of initial infusion of TLN-4601 (Day 1, Cycle 1)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To examine the safety and tolerability of TLN-4601 in patients with recurrent GBM

    Measured: Maximum 13 months from date of initial infusion of TLN-4601 (Day 1, Cycle 1)
