Characteristics of trial participants extracted from the phase 3 trials used as reference trials.

ECOG, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group.

aOne study did not report median age of the patients.

bPerformance status is reported over an interval as it was converted from KPS in 8 studies that could not discern a true median value.

cThree studies were excluded from survival calculations as 2 recruited MGMT-methylated tumors and one did not have an adequate control group.

dOnly 5 studies specifically reported 2-year survival characteristics.
