PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

• I. To compare the progression-free survival (PFS) of patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma treated with Toca 511 at the time of tumor resection followed by Toca FC in combination with standard of care (SOC) treatment to patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma treated with SOC after tumor resection.

(Phase II)

• II. To compare the overall survival (OS) from time of randomization of all patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma treated with Toca 511 at the time of tumor resection followed by Toca FC in combination with SOC treatment to patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma treated with SOC after tumor resection.

(Phase III) SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

• I. To evaluate the safety of each arm as administered in this study.

• II. To compare the OS between arms (only for phase II part of the study).

• III. To compare the PFS between arms using Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) (only for phase III part of the study).

• IV. To evaluate the objective response rate (ORR) in patients with measurable disease at the post-surgical scan.

• V. To evaluate the effect of IDH mutation status on survival outcomes between arms.

• VI. To evaluate the PFS and OS by extent of resection.

• VII. To evaluate the effect of MGMT methylation status on survival outcomes between arms.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM I: Beginning on week 5 following standard of care surgery, patients undergo radiation therapy over 30 fractions 5 days per week for up to 6 weeks, and receive temozolomide orally (PO) once daily (QD) for up to 49 days. At the discretion of treating physician, patients may also receive novoTTF-100A (Optune) device 0-7 weeks following radiation and temozolomide treatment. One month following completion of radiation therapy, patients continue to receive temozolomide PO QD on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ARM II: Patients receive vocimagene amiretrorepvec via intracranial injection during surgery on day 1. Beginning on week 5 following surgery, patients receive extended release flucytosine PO three times daily (TID) for 7 consecutive days every 7 weeks. Patients also undergo radiation therapy and receive temozolomide as in arm
