Fig. 2From: Carbon ion radiotherapy boost in the treatment of glioblastoma: a randomized phase I/III clinical trialThe flow chart of the current Phase I/III trial. In the Phase I, the maximal tolerable dose (MTD) of the induction CIRT boost will be determined. The MTD will then be used in the experimental t arm in the Phase III of this trial. The Phase III aims to determine the overall survival, progression-free survival, and tumor response.
