Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Experimental
Placebo Comparator
First-Line Bevacizumab followed by Bevacizumab + Lomustine/SOC
First-Line Bevacizumab followed by Placebo + Lomustine/SOC
Participants will receive first-line treatment with radiotherapy, temozolomide, and bevacizumab. All three treatments will be given concurrently for the first 6 weeks, followed by 6 cycles (28 days each) of temozolomide plus bevacizumab, followed by bevacizumab monotherapy until PD1 or unacceptable toxicity. At PD1, participants randomized to bevacizumab will receive bevacizumab plus lomustine until PD2. Following PD2, participants will continue with blinded bevacizumab with the addition of appropriate SOC. Following PD3, for subsequent treatment lines blinded bevacizumab may continue or open-label bevacizumab may be given at the discretion of the investigator and the participant.
