GBMPhase 1-2 Trial of ADI-PEG 20 Plus Radiotherapy and Temozolomide in Subjects With Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM)

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Weekly ADI-PEG 20 (36 mg/m2) or placebo will be combined with Stupp Protocol (Stupp 2005) radiotherapy and TMZ as noted for the Phase 1 portion. Furthermore, ADI-PEG 20 or placebo treatment may continue after adjuvant TMZ if there is no progressive disease, for up to a total of 2 years of ADI-PEG 20 or placebo treatment. In addition, after 24 weeks (6 cycles) subjects may also continue adjuvant TMZ along with ADI-PEG 20 or placebo, in the absence of disease progression, as noted above, if clinically indicated in the investigator's judgement. MRI is to be performed post-surgery(biopsy), and then at 1, 3 and 6 months after completion of radiotherapy and then every 3 months for up to 24 months.
