- Progression Free Survival [ Time Frame: 6 months ]To assess the anti-tumor activity of BGJ398 for patients with GBM and/or other glioma subtypes that harbor FGFR1-TACC1, FGFR3-TACC3 fusion and/or activating mutation in FGFR1, 2 or 3 based on PFS6 (PFS rate at 6 months as defined by RANO criteria as assessed by the investigator)
- Overall Response Rate [ Time Frame: 5 years ]To further assess the anti-tumor activity of BGJ398 for patients with GBM with an amplification, translocation, or activating mutation in FGFR1,2,3 or 4, based on Objective Response Rate (ORR - patients with measurable disease - as defined by RANO criteria as assessed by the investigator
- Overall Survival [ Time Frame: 5 years ]To further assess the anti-tumor activity of BGJ398 for patients with GBM and/or other glioma subtypes that harbor FGFR1-TACC1, FGFR3-TACC3 fusion and/or activating mutation in FGFR1, 2 and 3 based on Overall Survival
- Safety and Tolerability [ Time Frame: 5 years ]Safety: type, frequency, and severity of AEs and SAEs; Tolerability: dose interruptions, reductions and dose intensity, and evaluations of laboratory values
