A Phase 2 interventional study of Ramipril in Glioblastoma, Radiotherapy; Complications and Cognitive Decline, sponsored by Wake Forest University Health Sciences. Completed at 423 sites in 2 countries. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-03-13.
Sponsored by Wake Forest University Health Sciences · Phase 2, Interventional, and Supportive care
This study is to determine if an oral drug called Ramipril can lower the chance of memory loss in patients with glioblastoma getting chemoradiation. Patients will take Ramipril during chemoradiation and continue until 4 months post-treatment. Memory loss will be assessed using several neurocognitive tests throughout the duration of the study.
This is a pilot study of an oral drug Ramipril to prevent cognitive decline in glioblastoma patients receiving partial brain radiation and concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide . Ramipril will be titrated to the highest tolerable dose during chemoradiation (2.5-5 mg). Once this dose is determined, the patient will continue at this dose for 4 months after the completion of chemoradiation. Patients will be followed until 5 months post chemoradiation for compliance, toxicity, cognitive decline and participant reported outcomes (PRO).
Patient must be able to complete neurocognitive tests in the English language
Exclusion Criteria:
Ramipril will be taken once daily by mouth. It will be titrated during the first 3 weeks of chemoradiation to the highest tolerable dose (2.5-5 mg). This dose will be taken each day until 4 months post-chemoradiation treatment (22 weeks).
Drug: Ramipril
2.5 - 5 mg oral, 1x daily for 22 weeks

Change From Baseline Neurocognitive Function at 10 Weeks - Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised (HVLT-R) Total Recall Standardized Score
HVLT-R measures verbal learning and memory. It consists of a 12-item word list which is read to subjects on three successive learning trials. Free recall scores are recorded for each learning trial. Scores for immediate recall (total of three trials), delayed recall (total number of words recalled after 20 minutes), and recognition (total number of words correctly identified) will be the variables derived from the HVLT-R. A raw score (0-36) for part A Total Recall is calculated as the total number of words correctly recalled amongst the three trials. Test scores are presented as standardized z scores (mean=0, sd=1) with infinite range. Higher standardized scores indicate better neurocognitive function. Change in standardized scores are compared with results from the control arm of RTOG0825 (NCT00884741).

A comparison of HVLT-R Total Recall standardized scores between groups at study end. HVLT-R measures verbal learning and memory. It consists of a 12-item word list which is read to subjects on three successive learning trials. Free recall scores are recorded for each learning trial. Scores for immediate recall (total of three trials), delayed recall (total number of words recalled after 20 minutes), and recognition (total number of words correctly identified) will be the variables derived from the HVLT-R. A raw score (0-36) for part A Total Recall is calculated as the total number of words correctly recalled amongst the three trials. Test scores are presented as standardized z scores (mean=0, sd=1) with infinite range. Higher standardized scores indicate better neurocognitive function. Change in standardized scores are compared with results from the control arm of RTOG0825 (NCT00884741).

A comparison of TMT-A standardized scores between groups at study end. Part A of the TMT measures attention and visual motor skills and processing speed and requires subjects to connect 25 numbered circles in the proper sequence (1-2-3-…) as quickly as possible. The raw score for TMT-A is the total time in seconds required to complete the task. Scores can also be generated for number of errors and number of circles correctly connected. If the assessment was not completed in the allotted time, a prorated score was calculated based on the last completed correct circle. Final prorated raw scores of total time were at least 0 seconds with no maximum limit. Test scores are presented as standardized z scores (mean=0, sd=1) with infinite range. Higher standardized scores indicate better neurocognitive function. Change in standardized scores are compared with results from the control arm of RTOG0825 (NCT00884741).

TMT-B with its added complexity and set shifting requirements is a widely used measure of executive function. The raw score TMT-B is the total time in seconds required to complete the task. If the assessment was not completed in the allotted time, a prorated score was calculated based on the last completed correct circle. Final prorated raw scores of total time were at least 0 seconds with no maximum limit. Test scores are presented as standardized z scores (mean=0, sd=1) with infinite range. Higher standardized scores indicate better neurocognitive function. Change in standardized scores are compared with results from the control arm of RTOG0825 (NCT00884741).

A comparison of COWA standardized scores between groups at study end. The COWA measures speed of mental processing, verbal fluency, and executive function. Subjects are asked to name as many words as possible all beginning with a specified letter. A total of three trials are administered, each with a different letter. The raw score on the COWA (0-87) is the total number of words named across the three trials minus repetitions. Test scores are presented as standardized z scores (mean=0, sd=1) with infinite range. Higher standardized scores indicate better neurocognitive function. Change in standardized scores are compared with results from the control arm of RTOG0825 (NCT00884741).
