Brief Summary: RATIONALE Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die It is not yet known if radiation therapy is more effective with or without temozolomide for glioblastoma multiforme

PURPOSE Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of radiation therapy with or without temozolomide in treating patients who have newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Compare the efficacy of radiotherapy with or without temozolomide in terms of overall survival in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme II Compare the toxicity profiles of these regimens in these patients III Compare the progression free survival of these patients treated with these regimens IV Compare the quality of life in these patients treated with these regimens

OUTLINE This is a randomized multicenter study Patients are stratified according to participating center age under 50 vs 50 and over WHOECOG performance status 0-1 vs 2 and extent of surgical resection biopsy only vs complete or incomplete resection Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms Arm I Patients undergo radiotherapy 5 days a week for 6 weeks Arm II Patients undergo radiotherapy as in arm I concurrently with oral temozolomide daily for 6 weeks Patients then receive adjuvant oral temozolomide alone on days 1-5 every 28 days for 6 courses beginning 4 weeks after completion of radiotherapy Quality of life is assessed prior to the study at week 4 during radiotherapy at 4 weeks after completion of radiotherapy at the end of courses 3 and 6 of adjuvant chemotherapy arm II and then every 3 months until disease progression Patients are followed every 3 months until disease progression or death

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 520 patients 260 per treatment arm will be accrued for this study within 35 years
