Study Summary

CENTRIC is a Phase 3 clinical trial assessing efficacy and safety of the investigational integrin inhibitor, cilengitide, in combination with standard treatment versus standard treatment alone in newly diagnosed glioblastoma subjects with a methylated O6-methylguanine-deoxyribonucleic acid methyltransferase (MGMT) gene promoter in the tumor tissue. The MGMT gene promoter is a section of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that acts as a controlling element in the expression of MGMT. Methylation of the MGMT gene promoter has been found to be a predictive marker for benefit from temozolomide (TMZ) treatment.

Primary Outcome

The OS time is defined as the time (in months) from randomization to death or last day known to be alive. Participants without event are censored at the last date known to be alive or at the clinical cut-off date, whatever is earlier.
