Phase 2
Completed
- Conditions
- Glioblastoma Multiforme
- Interventions
- Radiation: Radiation Therapy (RT) 5 days a week +Drug: temozolomide(TMZ) 75mgDrug: adjuvant TMZ 200mg
- Registration Number
- NCT00267592
- Lead Sponsor
- Teva Branded Pharmaceutical Products R&D, Inc.
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to estimate overall survival for adult patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme treated with talampanel during radiation therapy with concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide. This study will also determine the toxicity and toxicity rate of talampanel for this therapeutic regimen.

Group Intervention Description enzyme-inducing antiseizure drug Radiation Therapy (RT) 5 days a week + A single-arm study with all subjects assigned to one treatment (radiation + temozolomide + talampanel) but subjects receiving concomitant anti-seizure drugs which could increase study drug elimination had a slightly modified dose/schedule of study drug. The primary endpoint is analyzed as a single group. enzyme-inducing antiseizure drug temozolomide(TMZ) 75mg A single-arm study with all subjects assigned to one treatment (radiation + temozolomide + talampanel) but subjects receiving concomitant anti-seizure drugs which could increase study drug elimination had a slightly modified dose/schedule of study drug. The primary endpoint is analyzed as a single group. enzyme-inducing antiseizure drug adjuvant TMZ 200mg A single-arm study with all subjects assigned to one treatment (radiation + temozolomide + talampanel) but subjects receiving concomitant anti-seizure drugs which could increase study drug elimination had a slightly modified dose/schedule of study drug. The primary endpoint is analyzed as a single group. enzyme-inducing antiseizure drug Talampanel A single-arm study with all subjects assigned to one treatment (radiation + temozolomide + talampanel) but subjects receiving concomitant anti-seizure drugs which could increase study drug elimination had a slightly modified dose/schedule of study drug.
