History of Changes
  Purpose

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.


Condition Intervention Phase

 Drug: Talampanel
 Phase 2

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Overall Survival [ Time Frame: 24 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Talampanel-related toxicity [ Time Frame: 29 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Enrollment: 72
Study Start Date: December 2005
Study Completion Date: February 2011
Primary Completion Date: September 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: enzyme-inducing antiseizure drug
A single-arm study with all subjects assigned to one treatment (radiation + temozolomide + talampanel) but subjects receiving concomitant anti-seizure drugs which could increase study drug elimination had a slightly modified dose/schedule of study drug. The primary endpoint is analyzed as a single group.
 Drug: Talampanel
Radiation Therapy (RT) 5 days a week + temozolomide(TMZ) 75mg 3 times daily (TID) for 6 weeks. One month later, adjuvant TMZ 200mg TID for 5 consecutive days each month for a total of 6 months. Talampanel was administered orally TID beginning the first day of RT + TMZ and continued until there was talampanel-related toxicity or tumor progression.
