Study Summary

This trial is testing if the drug selinexor, when combined with chemotherapy and radiation, might help treat brain cancer.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with newly diagnosed glioblastoma or gliosarcoma who haven't had chemo or radiation, can undergo radiotherapy and temozolomide treatment, have a certain level of physical function (KPS >70), and agree to use contraception. Excluded are those with uncontrolled infections, severe liver issues, pregnant/nursing women, HIV patients, prior brain RT or chemotherapy for glioma.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the highest dose of Selinexor that's tolerable when combined with Temozolomide and generic Radiation Therapy in treating new cases of brain cancer. Participants will receive daily radiation for up to 6 weeks while taking oral Selinexor weekly and Temozolomide daily during this period.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Selinexor may cause nausea, vomiting, fatigue, loss of appetite; blood count changes; potential harm to unborn babies hence contraception requirement. Temozolomide might lead to similar side effects including hair loss and headache.
