Safety and Efficacy of Talampanel in Glioblastoma Multiforme
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
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.

---|---|
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
Talampanel administered orally TID beginning the first day and continued until there is talampanel-related toxicity or tumor progression.
Radiation: Radiation Therapy (RT) 5 days a week +
Drug: temozolomide(TMZ) 75mg
temozolomide(TMZ) 75mg 3 times daily (TID) for 6 weeks
Drug: adjuvant TMZ 200mg
adjuvant TMZ 200mg TID for 5 consecutive days each month for a total of 6 months.
