To compare the efficacy and safety of treatments based on the Stupp protocol for adult patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma and to determine the optimal treatment option for patients with different O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation statuses. We estimated hazard ratios (HRs) for overall survival (OS) and odds ratios (ORs) for adverse events of grade 3 or higher (AEs >= 3). Twenty-one randomized controlled trials involving 6478 patients treated with 21 different treatment strategies were included. Results of the pooled HRs indicated tumor-treating fields (TTF) combined with the Stupp protocol resulted in the most favorable OS for patients with and withoutMGMTpromoter methylation. Subgroup analyses by the twoMGMTpromoter statuses indicated that lomustine-temozolomide plus radiotherapy or TTF combination therapy was associated with the best OS for patients with methylatedMGMTpromoter (HR, 1.03; 95% credible interval [CI], 0.54-1.97), and standard cilengitide combination therapy or TTF combination treatment was associated with the best OS for patients with unmethylatedMGMTpromoter (HR, 1.05; 95% CI, 0.67-1.64). Regarding AEs >= 3, there were no significant differences in pooled ORs. However, Bayesian ranking profiles that demonstrated intensive cilengitide combination therapy and TTF combination therapy have a similar possibility to cause the least toxicity. These results indicated that TTF combination therapy was associated with increased survival, irrespective of theMGMTpromoter methylation status, and a relatively tolerated safety profile compared with other combination treatments. The optimal treatment option for glioblastoma patients with differentMGMTpromoter methylation statuses was different.
