Biopsy Only Patients
In newly diagnosed GBM,
A post hoc analysis of the EF-14* study showed Optune Gio + TMZ was associated with increased median overall survival (OS) vs TMZ alone in patients ineligible for surgical resection1
The EF-14 pivotal phase 3 trial included patients with newly diagnosed GBM who only had a biopsy1
Extent of resection was consistent across both study arms1
The study protocol defined surgery as surgical resection to the extent safely feasible or biopsy.1
OS in biopsy-only patients2
Biopsy-only patients using Optune Gio + TMZ had longer median OS (16.5 months) vs those using TMZ alone (11.6 months)1
- In the EF-14 trial
- 13% of patients in each study arm only had a biopsy1
- 3 patients treated with Optune Gio + TMZ and 1 patient in the TMZ alone group were included in the analysis at 48 months2
In a post hoc analysis of the EF-14* study,
Optune Gio + TMZ improved median survival vs TMZ alone regardless of extent of resection
- In patients who had a partial resection, median OS was 21.4 months with Optune Gio + TMZ (n=157) compared with 15.1 months with TMZ alone (n=77) (HR: 0.56 [95% CI, 0.41-0.77])1,2
- In patients who had a gross total resection, median OS was 22.6 months with Optune Gio + TMZ (n=249) compared with 18.5 months with TMZ alone (n=123) (HR: 0.70 [95% CI, 0.54-0.91])1,2
*A randomized, open-label trial in 695 patients with newly diagnosed GBM whose tumor was resected or biopsied and had completed concomitant radiochemotherapy were randomized 2:1 to Optune Gio plus maintenance TMZ or TMZ alone.1
