Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Phase 1-2 of Temozolomide and Hypofractionated Radiotherapy in Tx of Supratentorial Glioblastoma Multiform

Study Description

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of a combination treatment for glioblastoma multiforme utilizing radiotherapy plus the FDA-approved chemotherapy drug temozolomide

Detailed Description: Primary Objective: To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), based on acute CNS toxicity at 30 days, of hypofractionated radiotherapy given in 5 fractions with temozolomide for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme. Secondary Objectives: 1. Assess the short- and long-term adverse effects. 2. Determine the radiographic response rate. 3. Determine the overall survival rate. 4. Assess quality of life during treatment To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of hypofractionated (5 fractions) radiotherapy with temozolomide for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme, patients will be evaluated by a multi-disciplinary team composed of radiation oncologists, neurosurgeons, and neuro-oncologists to assess for their eligibility. Patient's oncologic history, presenting symptoms, physical examination, pathology, and imaging studies will be reviewed. Patients will be evaluated for surgical candidacy and resectability. Patients who are surgical candidates will undergo a surgical resection prior to radiotherapy. Patients whose tumors are unresectable or are not good surgical candidates will undergo a biopsy for tissue diagnosis. Radiation will be delivered in five fractions.
