Summary

This trial will test if a new radiation therapy method can help people with glioblastoma live longer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with newly diagnosed glioblastoma who can give informed consent, follow study procedures, and have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks. They should be in good physical condition (Karnofsky score ≥70), have adequate organ function, and agree to use contraception if applicable. The tumor must be ≤5 cm in diameter and patients must enroll within 6 weeks post-surgery.
What is being tested?
The study tests if intensified radiation therapy targeted at high-risk tumor areas during treatment improves survival in glioblastoma patients compared to standard chemoradiotherapy. It includes dose-intensified radiotherapy with concurrent temozolomide followed by adjuvant temozolomide.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include fatigue, skin irritation at the radiation site, nausea, low blood counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, liver and kidney function changes, headaches, hair loss around the treated area.
