Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug, nedisertib, to see if it can help shrink tumors when used with radiation therapy in patients with a certain type of brain cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with newly diagnosed MGMT unmethylated glioblastoma or gliosarcoma who have had surgery but no other treatments. They must be able to follow the study plan, have proper kidney and liver function, normal blood counts, and a stable condition on low-dose steroids. Women of childbearing age need a negative pregnancy test and agree to use birth control; men also need to use contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests Peposertib combined with radiation therapy followed by Temozolomide chemotherapy in patients with specific brain tumors. It aims to find the best dose of Peposertib that can be given safely and see if this combination works better than standard treatment alone.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to Peposertib such as fatigue, nausea, skin changes from radiation, and typical chemotherapy-related issues like hair loss, lowered blood cell counts increasing infection risk, mouth sores, and constipation.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Stage II (Peposertib, Radiation, Temozolomide, Surgery)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
CONCURRENT: Patients receive Peposertib and undergo standard of care radiation therapy as in Stage I. Within 1-14 days after the completion of radiation therapy, patients undergo surgical resection. ADJUVANT: Patients receive temozolomide as in Stage I.
Group II: Stage I (Peposertib, Radiation therapy, Temozolomide)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
CONCURRENT: Patients undergo standard of care radiation therapy daily (Monday-Friday) for 30 fractions. Patients also receive Peposertib PO on each day of radiation therapy and given 1-2 hours before each treatment fraction. Treatment continues for 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ADJUVANT: Patients receive temozolomide PO QD on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 6 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
