Study Description

Brief Summary:

Patients with GBM, who were deemed ineligible for any active protocols at our centre, received accelerated hypofractionation EBRT if 60Gy/20Fx using an IMRT technique with conventional dose of concomitant and adjuvant TMX as per the STUPP's TMZ schedule. Thirty five patients, 15 females and 20 males with a median age of 63 (range 31-78) were treated with a median KPS of 90 (range 50-100). Four patients had multicentric disease at presentation. Eight patients had biopsy only while the rest had a near total resection (n=14) and partial resection (n=13) with a median follow-up of 12.1 months, the median survival was 14.4 months.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Glioblastoma Mutliforme	Radiation: IMRT Technique; Radiation: IMRT and accelerated hypofractionation technique; Radiation: neo-adjuvant TMZ followed by accelerated hypofractionated EBRT; Drug: Temozolomide and Accelerated Hypofractionation RT	Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

In this proposal, the total cumulative dose of TMZ is unchanged as compared to the doses used in the Stupp protocol. In this proposal, the dose of TMZ is the same, with the sole difference that TMZ will be given in a neo-adjuvant setting for two weeks and then continued at the same dose concurrently with the accelerated hypofractionated EBRT delivering 60Gy in 4 weeks. The adjuvant component of TMZ remains unchanged from current standard practice.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Temozolomide, Accelerated Hypofractionated RT; Patient will receive two weeks of neo-adjuvant Temozolomide followed by Accelerated Hypofractionated RT for a total of 20 fractions for a total of 60Gy followed by Temozolomide for 12 cycles.	Radiation: IMRT Technique; Radiation: IMRT and accelerated hypofractionation technique; Intervention is the technique and accelerated fractionation used to treat GBM; Radiation: neo-adjuvant TMZ followed by accelerated hypofractionated EBRT; Two weeks of neo-adjuvant TMZ followed by XRT+TMX followed by TMZ as adjuvant component; Drug: Temozolomide and Accelerated Hypofractionation RT

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Percent of patients completing the study treatment [ Time Frame: At one year ]
   To determine overall survival.
2. To assess toxicity of the regimen [ Time Frame: At one year ]
   Toxicity will be assessed and graded according to CTCAE-V3
