Overview
Brief Summary
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of tipifarnib when given together with radiation therapy and temozolomide in treating patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme. Tipifarnib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. 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, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving tipifarnib together with radiation therapy and temozolomide may be a better way to treat glioblastoma multiforme.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Establish maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for tipifarnib (R115777) in combination with temozolomide with radiation in patients not on enzyme-inducing anti-epileptic drugs (EIAEDs). II. To define the safety of R115777 in combination with temozolomide with radiation in this patient population. III. To assess for evidence of antitumor activity in this patient population. OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of tipifarnib. TIPIFARNIB: Patients receive tipifarnib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-21. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. CONCURRENT CHEMOTHERAPY DURING RADIATION THERAPY: Within 5-9 days after starting tipifarnib, patients undergo external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) daily and receive temozolomide PO daily for 6 weeks. POST-RADIATION CHEMOTHERAPY: Beginning at week 10 post-radiation therapy, patients receive temozolomide PO on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 1 year or 12 complete courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 4 months.

- •Patients must not have received cytotoxic drug therapy, non-cytotoxic drug therapy, or experimental drug therapy directed against the brain tumor; patients who received Gliadel wafers will be excluded; patients may have received or be receiving corticosteroids, non-EIAEDs, analgesics, and other drugs to treat symptoms or prevent complications
- •Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or contrast computed tomography (CT) must have been performed within 21days of study entry; the use of MRI rather than CT is preferred; the same type of scan, i.e., MRI or CT must be used throughout the period of protocol treatment for tumor measurement; if the surgical procedure was a resection, cranial MRI or contrast CT performed with 96 hours of resection is preferred but not required; patients without measurable or assessable disease are eligible
