Safety and Efficacy of Talampanel in Glioblastoma Multiforme
A Phase II Trial of Talampanel in Conjunction With Radiation Therapy With Recurrent and Adjuvant Temozolomide in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma Multiforme

The purpose of this study is to estimate overall survival for adult patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme treated with talampanel during radiation therapy with concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide. This study will also determine the toxicity and toxicity rate of talampanel for this therapeutic regimen.
