Trial Information

A Phase II Trial of Accelerated Radiotherapy Using Weekly Stereotactic Conformal Boosts For Supratentorial Glioblastoma Multiforme


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the overall and progression-free survival in patients with supratentorial
glioblastoma multiforme treated with accelerated radiotherapy and conformal
stereotactic radiotherapy boost followed by carmustine.

- Determine the short and long-term toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

- Determine the feasibility of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive daily accelerated radiotherapy 5 days a week on weeks 1-2. On
weeks 3-6, patients receive accelerated radiotherapy 4 days a week (3 days a week on week 6)
and conformal stereotactic radiotherapy boost once weekly. Patients then receive carmustine
IV over 1-2 hours on days 1-3 every 8 weeks for 6 courses beginning within 1 month after the
completion of radiotherapy.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then
annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 76 patients will be accrued for this study within 15 months.
