To compare overall survival. 2. To compare time to tumor progression. 3. To compare the relative toxicities of the two drug regimens. 4. To correlate molecular analyses with #1 and #2.

Repeat Temozolomide every 28 days for a total of 12 cycles. Arm 2: Radiation Therapy: 59.4 Gy (1.8 Gy x 33 fractions, 5 days a week x 6 weeks) plus BCNU (80 mg/m 2 ) on days 1, 2, and 3 of the first week of radiotherapy and on days 56, 57, and 58 then every eight weeks for four cycles for a total of six cycles (maximum BCNU dose 1440 mg/m 2 ) Arm 3: (Radiation Therapy, BCNU, Temozolomide). Dropped; see section 1.3 Pilot #1, Arm 4: Pilot #2, Arm 5: Radiation Therapy: 59.4 (1.8 Gy x 33 fractions, 5 days a week x 6 weeks) plus BCNU 200 mg/m 2 on day 1 of radiotherapy and Temozolomide 150 mg/m 2 on days 1-5 of the first week of radiotherapy. Repeat every six weeks for a total of six cycles (maximum BCNU dose 1200 mg/m 2 ). (closed 3/15/01) Radiation Therapy: 59.4 (1.8 Gy x 33 fractions, 5 days a week x 6 weeks) plus BCNU 150 mg/m 2 on day 5 of radiotherapy and Temozolomide 150 mg/m 2 on days 1-5 of the first week of radiotherapy. Repeat every eight weeks for a total of six cycles. BCNU will be given on day 5 of Temozolomide in these cycles (maximum BCNU dose 900 mg/m 2 ). (closed 1/25/02)

Ellen Aiken, B.A. I. Summary: This study had two pilot arms in order to assess the toxicity and feasibility of combining BCNU and Temozolomide. Fifteen patients were enrolled on Pilot #1, which closed March 15, 2001. Fourteen patients were enrolled on Pilot #2, which closed January 25, 2002. Pilot arm toxicity data was presented at SNO 2002 and a manuscript reporting this data has been submitted. It was determined that the combination of RT + Temozolomide + BCNU is not feasible, thus arm 3 was dropped. The phase III component was activated October 15, 2002, and the tables in this report will address only the patients on the randomized component. Twenty-eight patients have toxicity data (Table 4). There were two grade 3 infections in RT + BCNU arm and none on RT+Temozolomide arm. One grade 4 dermatology/skin toxicity was reported in RT + BCNU arm. Only one late RT toxicity was reported (grade 2 skin within the irradiated field). The initial interim analysis of the primary endpoint is planned after the number of deaths has reached 36. II.
