Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of motexafin gadolinium when given together with temozolomide and radiation therapy and to see how well they work in treating patients with newly diagnosed supratentorial glioblastoma multiforme or gliosarcoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Motexafin gadolinium may help temozolomide work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Motexafin gadolinium may also make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Giving motexafin gadolinium together with temozolomide and radition therapy may kill more tumor cells.

- description
- Patients undergo radiotherapy once daily on days 1-5, 8-12, 15-19, 22-26, 29-33, and 36-40. Beginning the night before the first dose of radiotherapy and ending the night before the last dose of radiotherapy, patients receive concurrent oral temozolomide once daily on days 0-39. Patients also receive MGd IV over 30 minutes prior to radiotherapy once daily on days 1-5 and 8-12 and then on days 15, 17, 19, 22, 24, 26, 29, 31, 33, 36, 38, and 40. Beginning 28 days after the completion of radiotherapy, patients receive oral temozolomide once daily on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
