Ou.


Your question:


Do the patients who get DCVax-L still get chemo on the same schedule as the control arm? Or is it dependent upon the patient's need for more chemo?

Answer IMHO: The same Schedule. 6 months of chemo. Source: ClinicalTrials.gov.

temozolomide essentially according to the schedule of the Stupp Protocol (Stupp et al. N Engl J Med 352: 987-96, 2005) while being treated with DCVax-L. DCVax-L treatment must be given as described and temozolomide/Temodar treatment schedules must be given essentially according to the Stupp Protocol

Interestingly, I first goofed and thought you were asking about Direct. This caused me to go to clinical trials.gov and remind myself that concurrent chemo is not used with direct, nor is immediate pretreatment with chemo/radiation. I'll never let that piece of info escape my memory banks again.
