Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Treatment (temozolomide, radiation, NovoTTF-200A device)
Participants receive temozolomide PO QD starting day 1 to the end of radiation therapy and undergo 30 fractions of radiation therapy over 15-20 minutes each, 5 days a week (Monday-Friday) for 6 weeks. Beginning day 1 of radiation therapy, participants undergo tumor treatment fields therapy using NovoTTF-200A device over 18 hours or more daily in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Beginning 28 days after the last dose of radiation therapy, participants receive temozolomide PO QD on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
