The main purpose of this study is the evaluation of concomitant association of ultrafractionated irradiation and Temodal® in patients with inoperable primary glioblastoma multiforme; study of tolerance and objective response rate.
The secondary purposes of this study are the evaluation of progression free survival, global survival and tolerance through toxicity study. The therapeutic response according to methylation or not of MGMT is also evaluated.

---|---|
Experimental: ultrafractionated brain irradiation - temozolomide |
Radiation: Ultrafractionated brain irradiation
0.75 Gy a day, 5 times a week, for 6 weeks (total dose: 67.5 Gy) Drug: Temozolomide 75 mg/m2/day, 7 times a week, for 6 weeks (total 42 days)
Other Name: Temodal |
- complete response [ Time Frame: through study completion, 2 years ]defined as total regression of tumor area contrast in MRI, with stability or amelioration of neurological status of patient without corticoids
- partial response [ Time Frame: through study completion, 2 years ]defined by at least 50% diminution of tumor size, evaluated by the product of 2 perpendicular diameters measured by MRI, with stability or amelioration of neurological status of patient receiving stable or reduced corticoid doses
- stabilization [ Time Frame: through study completion, 2 years ]corresponding to at least 50% diminution of tumor size in MRI, with stability of neurological status of patient receiving steady corticoid doses
- progression [ Time Frame: through study completion, 2 years ]defined by increase of at least 25% of tumor size and/or a second brain localization in MRI, with degradation of neurological status of patient
- global survival [ Time Frame: through study completion, 2 years ]
- treatment tolerance [ Time Frame: through study completion, 2 years ]evaluated by general, neurological and hematological status, according to National Cancer Institute-Common toxicity criteria (NCI-CTC)
- survival without tumor recurrence [ Time Frame: through study completion, 2 years ]tumor recurrence detected with radiology examination
- life quality [ Time Frame: through study completion, 2 years ]evaluated with European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) core quality of life questionnaire (QLQ - C30)
