Summary
Background Rindopepimut (also known as CDX-110), a vaccine targeting the EGFR deletion mutation EGFRvIII, Lancet Oncol 2017; 18: 1373–85
consists of an EGFRvIII-specific peptide conjugated to keyhole limpet haemocyanin. In the ACT IV study, we aimed Published Online
to assess whether or not the addition of rindopepimut to standard chemotherapy is able to improve survival in patients August 22, 2017

Methods In this randomised, double-blind, phase 3 trial, we recruited patients aged 18 years and older with glioblastoma
from 165 hospitals in 22 countries. Eligible patients had newly diagnosed glioblastoma confirmed to express EGFRvIII *Investigators who participated
