Brief Title: Hypofractionated IMRT With Temozolomide for HGG
Official Title: Hypofractionated IMRT (VMAT-RA) With Temozolomide for Patients With Newly Diagnosed High Grade Glioma (HGG)
Study ID: NCT02082119
Brief Summary: To evaluate safety and feasibility of hypofractionated IMRT in addition to chemotherapy, concomitant and adjuvant, in patients with newly diagnosed HGGs after surgery. Primary endpoint: progression free survival (PFS), Overall Survival (OS) and Toxicity. Secondary endpoint: to evaluate Quality of life (QoL) of patients after surgery, concomitant chemoradiotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy through neuropsychological examination.
Detailed Description: We designed a study of a hypofractionated intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), using VMAT RapidArc approach. The potential advantage of this approach is to deliver a more selective irradiation to tumor's target with reducing dose to normal brain and to allow to deliver a higher dose, optimizing the therapeutic window
