Phase II, Phase ITissue collection/Repository, TreatmentActive18 and overNCINCCTG-N0877
N0877, NCT00869401

Trial Description

Purpose:

Dasatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It may also make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. 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.

This randomized phase I/II trial is studying the best dose of dasatinib and to see how well it works compared with a placebo when given together with radiation therapy and temozolomide in treating patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme.

Eligibility:

Eligibility criteria include the following:

Final eligibility for a clinical trial is determined by the health professionals conducting the trial.

Treatment/Intervention:

Patients will be assigned to group one or randomly assigned (have an equal chance of being placed) to one of two treatment groups.

Patients in group one will receive dasatinib by mouth once a day and temozolomide by mouth once a day for 6 weeks. They will also undergo radiation therapy 5 days a week for 6 weeks. Beginning 4-6 weeks after course one, patients will receive dasatinib by mouth once a day for 4 weeks and temozolomide by mouth once a day for 5 days. Treatment may repeat every 4 weeks for up to 6 courses.

Patients in group two will receive a placebo by mouth once a day and temozolomide by mouth once a day for 6 weeks. They will also undergo radiation therapy 5 days a week for 6 weeks. Beginning 4-6 weeks after course one, patients will receive a placebo once a day for 4 weeks and temozolomide by mouth once a day for 5 days. Treatment may repeat every 4 weeks for up to 6 courses.

Blood samples will be collected and stored for future laboratory studies.

Patients will fill out quality-of-life questionnaires periodically. After finishing treatment, patients will be evaluated every 6 months for 5 years.
