Purpose
RATIONALE: Dalteparin may stop the growth of cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor and by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining dalteparin with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining dalteparin with radiation therapy in treating patients who have newly diagnosed supratentorial glioblastoma multiforme.

| Official Title: | A Phase II Study to Evaluate the Effect of Dalteparin and Radiation Therapy on Survival Compared to the RTOG RPA Database and on Thromboembolic Events in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma Multiforme |
| Study Start Date: | May 2002 |
| Primary Completion Date: | July 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Patients undergo cranial irradiation 5 days a week for 7 weeks. Beginning concurrently with initiation of radiotherapy, patients receive dalteparin subcutaneously once daily for up to 2 years in the absence of unacceptable toxicity. Patients may continue receiving dalteparin after year 2 at the discretion of the investigator.
Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for up to 5 years after study entry.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 72 patients will be accrued for this study.
