Temozolomide, Radiation Therapy, and Tumor Treating Fields Therapy in Treating Participants With Glioblastoma

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the safety and toxicity of combination chemoradiotherapy with NovoTTF-200A device (Optune) treatment in newly diagnosed glioblastoma.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the median progression-free survival of patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma treated with radiotherapy with concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide plus Optune.

II. To evaluate the median overall survival, 1-year overall survival, and event-free survival.

III. Collect tumor O(6)-Methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) methylation status and isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation status.

IV. To evaluate the level of circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in glioblastoma patient serum during treatment.

V. To evaluate the quality of life of patients treated with radiotherapy with concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide plus Optune.
