Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Progression free survival (PFS)

Overall survival (OS) measured as time from the day of randomization until death
Progression free time
Progression free time as time from the day of randomization until progressive disease (death is regarded as censored)
12-month OS rate
Overall survival (OS) measured as time from the day of randomization until death
Absolute changes from baseline in contrast medium volume uptake from the MRI performed 48 hours after randomization on, and during any MRI performed thereafter to monitor for disease progression
48h response rate on MRI (Complete Remission, Partial Remission, Stable Disease) after treatment with iPDT (interstitial photodynamic therapy)

If a PET (positron emission tomography) was performed less than 2 weeks apart from an MRI: Consistency of both procedures with regard to the region of interest (ROI)
Change in KPS (Karnofsky Performance Score)
Minimum value: 0, maximum value: 100. A higher value means a better outcome.
Change in NIHSS (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale)
Minimum value: 0, maximum value: 42. A higher value means a worse outcome.
Change in MMSE (Mini-Mental State Examination)
Minimum value: 0, maximum value: 30. A higher value means a better outcome.

Frequency of Adverse Events
