A Phase II Study of Radiation With Concomitant and Then Sequential Temozolomide in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Supratentorial Malignant Glioma Who Have Undergone Surgery With Gliadel Wafer Insertion


A phase II study of radiation with concomitant and then sequential Temozolomide in patients
with newly diagnosed supratentorial malignant glioma who have undergone surgery with Gliadel
wafer insertion. To determine the safety and efficacy of Gliadel 3.85% wafers plus surgery
and limited field radiation therapy with concomitant Temozolomide followed by Temozolomide
alone in patients undergoing initial surgery for newly diagnosed unifocal moderate to high
grade glioma.
