Inclusion criteria

  1. Participants must have histologically confirmed glioblastoma/gliosarcoma.
  2. Tumor o6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase promoter methylation status must be determined
  3. Participants must not have had any prior therapy for glioblastoma multiforme including radiation or chemotherapy.
  4. Participants must be > 70 years of age.
  5. Participants must have life expectancy greater than 6 months.
  6. Karnofsky performance status > 60 (ECOG \< 2).
  7. Patients must have normal organ and marrow function

    • Leukocytes > 3,000/microliter
    • Absolute neutrophil count > 1,500/microliter
    • Platelets > 100,000/microliter
    • Total bilirubin within normal institutional limits 12
    • aspartate aminotransferase test(SGOT)/alanine aminotransferase test(SGPT) \< 2.5 X institutional upper limit of normal
    • Creatinine within normal institutional limits or creatinine clearance > 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for subjects with creatinine levels about institutional normal
  8. Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Participants may not be receiving any other study agents.
  2. Participants may not have had chemotherapy wafer placement at surgery.
  3. History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to temozolomide.
  4. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  5. Individuals with a history of a different malignancy are ineligible except for the following circumstances. Individuals with a history of other malignancies are eligible if they have been disease-free for at least 3 years and are deemed by the investigator to be at low risk for recurrence of that malignancy. Individuals with the following cancers are eligible if diagnosed and treated within the past 5 years: cervical cancer in situ, and basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin.
  6. HIV-positive individuals on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible because of the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions with temozolomide. In addition, these individuals are at increased risk of lethal infections when treated with marrow-suppressive therapy. Appropriate studies will be undertaken in participants receiving combination antiretroviral therapy when indicated.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Hypofractionated radiotherapy and temozolomide

    All subjects will receive treatment as is a single arm study. Two weeks of combined hypofractionated radiotherapy with concurrent temozolomide followed by up to 6 cycles of adjuvant temozolomide treatment.

    Radiation: Hypofractionated radiotherapy · Drug: Temozolomide

Interventions

  • RadiationHypofractionated radiotherapy

    Treatment of 3.4 Gy will be given daily 5 days per week over 2 weeks.

  • During concomitant phase Temozolomide will be administered orally at 75 mg/m2 for 2 weeks concomitant with radiotherapy. During the adjuvant phase Temozolomide will be administered orally at 150 mg/m2 on days 1 through day 5 of each 28 day cycle for a maximum of 6 cycles.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of patients who stop treatment due to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade 3 or above toxicities..

    If \< 4 out of 10 patients in the initial analysis stop treatment due to toxicity it can proceed to phase II.

    Time frame: baseline, 14-28 days post-surgery, 4 weeks post chemo-radiation therapy, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 months post Radiation Therapy

  2. Overall survival

    Survival status will be collected after completion of chemo-radiation at minimum every 3 months for up to 12 months, then every 6 months until date of death.

    Time frame: From date of intervention until the date of first documented disease progression or death, the date of study discontinuation (e.g. toxicity, PI decision) or death from any cause, whichever is first, assessed up to 100 months.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Estimate progression-free survival (PFS)

    Survival/Documentation of progressive disease status will be collected every 3 months post chemo-radiation up to 12 months, then every 6 months until death, or from the date of disease progression, the date of study discontinuation (e.g. toxicity, PI decision), or from the date of the last dose of study drug (concomitant or adjuvant) if no disease progression.

    Time frame: From date of intervention until the date of first documented disease progression or death, the date of study discontinuation (e.g. toxicity, PI decision) or death from any cause, whichever is first, assessed up to 100 months.

  2. Tolerability (feasibility) of hypo-fractionated radiaton therapy and Temozolomide

    Quality of life will be measured by Fact-BR assessment.

    Time frame: From date of intervention until the date of first documented disease progression or death, the date of study discontinuation (e.g. toxicity, PI decision) or death from any cause, whichever is first, assessed up to 100 months.

Other outcomes

  1. Explore association of Overall Survival (OS) and Progression Free Survival (PFS) with 06-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase gene (MGMT) methylation status

    Survival/Documentation of progressive disease status will be collected 4-weeks post chemo-radiation therapy then every 3 months up to 12 months, then every 6 months until death, from either the date of disease progression, the date of study discontinuation (e.g. toxicity, PI decision), or from the date of the last dose of study drug (concomitant or adjuvant) if no disease progression.

    Time frame: From date of intervention until the date of first documented disease progression or death, the date of study discontinuation (e.g. toxicity, PI decision) or death from any cause, whichever is first, assessed up to 100 months.

  2. Explore changes in quality of life (QOL)

    To explore changes in QOL measured by Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT-BR) and its predictors.

    Time frame: 14-28 days after surgery then within 4 weeks from end of chemotherapy-radiation then 1,4, and 6 months post initiation of adjuvant treatment

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Oct 31, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
