Brief Summary: RATIONALE Suramin may stop the growth of glioblastoma multiforme by stopping blood flow to the tumor Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells Combining suramin with radiation therapy may be a more effective treatment for glioblastoma multiforme

PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of suramin plus radiation therapy in treating patients who have newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Assess the toxicity of suramin administered prior to and concurrent with radiotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed high grade glioblastoma multiforme II Evaluate this regimen in terms of survival in this patient population

OUTLINE Patients receive suramin IV over 2 hours for initial dose and over 1 hour for subsequent doses daily for 5 days on week 1 Patients receive concurrent radiotherapy daily with suramin IV over 1 hour twice weekly on weeks 2-7 Patients with stable or responsive disease receive a second course of suramin twice weekly on weeks 20-24 Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Patients are followed every 2 months until disease progression or start of new therapy and then monthly for survival

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 54 patients will be accrued for this study over 15 years
