Arms	Assigned Interventions
Arm B: Placebo Comparator adults with TMZ, RT	Drug: nimotuzumab monoclonal antibody
Arm A: Experimental adults with TMZ, RT, nimotuzumab	Drug: nimotuzumab monoclonal antibody

Detailed Description:

The objective of the present study is a comparison of treatment of patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme grade IV. Patients will be randomized in one of two arms when included. Patients randomly assigned to arm A will receive Nimotuzumab (OSAG 101) plus Temozolomide concomitant with standard radiotherapy. Patients randomised in arm B will receive standard radiotherapy plus Temozolomide treatment.
