Scientific Title
A Randomised Phase II study of veliparib and radiotherapy with adjuvant temozolomide and veliparib versus standard radiotherapy and temozolomide followed by temozolomide in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma with unmethylated O (6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase
Other Non-Commercial Sponsor
Cure Brain Cancer Foundation
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a combination of veliparib with radiotherapy, followed by a combination of veliparib with temozolomide (a chemotherapy), to treat patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme (a type of brain tumour).
Who is it for?
You can join this study if you are a person who is recently diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme (brain tumour), underwent surgery (or have been scheduled to undergo surgery) for this diagnosis and are considered for further treatment with radiotherapy plus temozolomide treatment.
Study details:
If you like to join this study you will first be screened by your specialist to see if you meet the eligibility criteria to participate in this study. If you are deemed eligible to participate you will be randomly (by chance) assigned to one of two possible treatment groups:
Group 1 will receive veliparib together with radiotherapy for 6-7 weeks, followed by a 4 week treatment break, which is again followed by a 6 month treatment with a combination of temozolomide and veliparib.
Group 2 will receive receive temozolomide together with radiotherapy for 6-7 weeks, followed by a 4 week treatment break, which is again followed by a 6 month treatment with temozolomide.
Your chance to receive the group 1 treatment is twice as high as to receive the group 2 treatment.
Participants will be asked to attend clinic visits every 2-4 weeks during the treatment period and then two times more (1 month and 3 months after having received the last treatment). During these visits the specialist will assess the status of your glioblastoma and your physical and mental health, and ask you about your well-being. Participants will also be asked to undergo tests and procedures, such as blood testing, urine testing, scans, and questionnaire completion and to give tissue samples for laboratory research.
