MGMT = O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase; SD = standard deviation.

Corticosteroids are whether patients received 10 mg at the first meeting with the oncologist. Extent of resection is as judged by the surgeon. Regarding treatment (1) standard therapy + trial drug: 10 patients had extra treatment added on to their standard therapy as part of a clinical trial (5 nivolumab or placebo, 4 trotabresib, and 1 marizomib). (2) Standard therapy variations include 4 patients who received 2 Gy × 30 but nivolumab instead of temozolomide, 15 patients received 3 Gy × 10 only but also adjuvant temozolomide, 3 patients received regular standard therapy but nontargeted immunotherapy instead of the adjuvant temozolomide, and 1 patient received 2 Gy × 30 only and adjuvant temozolomide. (3) Other includes single patients receiving bevacizumab/irinotecan, bevacizumab/nivolumab, lomustine, NTRK-inhibitor, and 2 untreated patients. Regarding genomic analysis, targeted panel includes TSO500 and archers Fusionplex.
