the concomitant phase treatment be within ≥ 4 weeks but ≤ 6 weeks following the

resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) scan

- Patient has Karnofsky performance status >= 60

- Patient has adequate bone marrow and organ function

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patient has received previous treatment with PI3K and/or mTOR inhibitors for GBM or

anti-neoplastic therapy for BKM, except for the treatment allowed in inclusion
criteria

adequately treated, basal or squamous cell carcinoma, non-melanomatous skin cancer or
curatively resected cervical cancer)

- Patient who had not recovered to grade 1 or better from any adverse events (except
alopecia, nausea, vomiting) related to previous antineoplastic therapy before
screening procedures are initiated, as allowed in inclusion criteria

the PHQ- 9 or a cut-off of ≥ 15 in the GAD-7 mood scale for reasons not attributable
to GBM; or selects a positive response of '1, 2, 3' to question number 9 regarding
potential for suicidal thoughts or ideation in the PHQ-9 (independent of the total
score of the PHQ-9)

(I or II), obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, a history of suicidal
attempt or ideation, or homicidal ideation (immediate risk of doing harm to others)

need for invasive surgical procedure during the course of the study, biopsy within 7
days prior to starting study drug

- Patient has poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (HbA1c > 8%)

- Patient is currently receiving increasing or chronic treatment with corticosteroids
or another immunosuppressive agent

- Patient is currently receiving an enzyme inducing anti-epileptic drug. The patient
