- Chlorpromazine with standard of care chemoradiation
- description
- Each patient will undergo 3 phases of treatment. Concurrent Phase: includes concurrent radiation Monday - Friday (60 Gy total radiation dose in 2 Gy fractions), oral temozolomide (75 mg/m2/day) daily for a maximum 49 days starting Day 1 of radiation, and oral chlorpromazine (25 mg for first 3 patients, then escalate to 50 mg if no DLT) daily starting 7 days prior to radiation start. Interim Phase: Continue oral chlorpromazine daily dose post-radiation and prior to beginning adjuvant temozolomide. Adjuvant Phase: 28 days after radiation fini (+/- 5 business days), Start oral temozolomide (starting dose 150 mg/m2/day and escalated to 200 mg/m2/day if no treatment related adverse events noted) once daily for 5 consecutive days of a 28 day cycle, and continue oral daily chlorpromazine seven days a week per cycle. The adjuvant phase treatment will continue for up to 6 cycles. Cycle length is 28 days.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients must have newly diagnosed (i.e., within 5 weeks from recent surgery), histologically or cytologically or molecularly confirmed glioblastoma, gliosarcoma, or diffuse midline glioma. * Diagnosis must be made by surgical biopsy or excision. * Therapy must begin ≤ 5 weeks after most recent surgery. * Age ≥ 18 years * ECOG performance status 0-2 (Karnofsky \> 50%, see Appendix B). * A complete blood count and differential must be obtained within 21 days prior to radiation fraction 1, with adequate bone marrow functions as defined below: * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500 cells per mm\^3 * Platelets ≥ 100,000 per mm\^3 * Hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL * Plasma blood chemistries within 21 days of radiation fraction 1, as defined below: * Creatinine ≤ 2.0 mg/dL * Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 mg/dL * ALT ≤ 3 times the institutional upper limit of normal * AST ≤ 3 times the institutional upper limit of normal * Patient or patient's legally authorized representative's ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document. Exclusion Criteria: * Recurrent high-grade glioma. * Significant abnormalities on ECG at screening. QTcF \> 450 msec for males or \> 470 msec for females at screening. * History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to temozolomide or chlorpromazine. * Significant co-morbid central nervous system disease, including but not limited to, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, history of myasthenia gravis, or dementia. * Patients with prior malignancies of the same or different tumor type and patients with concurrent malignancies of the same or different tumor type whose natural history or treatment has the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational drug. * Patients who have received prior chemotherapy (including Gliadel wafers) for the current glioma * Prior radiation therapy to the head or neck, which would result in overlap of radiation therapy fields. * Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents. Use of tumor treating fields (TTF) in adjuvant phase is permitted as per standard of care. * Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, hypoparathyroidism, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements. Uncontrolled seizures despite being on maximal anti-seizure therapy. * Pregnant women are excluded from this study because ionizing radiation is a known teratogen, and temozolomide is a Class D agent with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with temozolomide, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with temozolomide.
