Arm I (vorinostat, Phase II Arm A)
Arm II (temozolomide, Phase II Arm B)
Arm III (Bevacizumab, Phase II Arm)
Arm IV (temozolomide, Phase 3 Arm B)
Arm V (vorinostat/bevacizumab, Phase 3, Chemoradiotherapy)
Feasibility (vorinostat)
Patients undergo RT 5 days a week for 6 weeks and receive vorinostat at the maximum-tolerated dose determined in the feasibility study. Patients receive Maintenance therapy of bevacizumab 10mg/kg/dose every 2 weeks and temozolomide 200 mg/m2/dose Days 1-5, for up to twelve cycles in the absence of progressive disease and unacceptable toxicities.
Patients undergo RT as in the feasibility arm and receive temozolomide PO once daily for 42 days by day 5 of RT. Patients receive Maintenance therapy of bevacizumab 10mg/kg/dose every 2 weeks and temozolomide 200 mg/m2/dose Days 1-5, for up to twelve cycles in the absence of progressive disease and unacceptable toxicities.
Patients undergo RT as in the feasibility arm and receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on days 22 and 36. Patients receive Maintenance therapy of bevacizumab 10mg/kg/dose every 2 weeks and temozolomide 200 mg/m2/dose Days 1-5, for up to twelve cycles in the absence of progressive disease and unacceptable toxicities.
Patients undergo RT as in the Arm II and receive temozolomide PO once daily for 42 days beginning on day 5 of RT. Patients receive Maintenance therapy of bevacizumab 10mg/kg/dose every 2 weeks and temozolomide 200 mg/m2/dose Days 1-5, for up to twelve cycles in the absence of progressive disease and unacceptable toxicities.
Patients receive treatment as in phase II, arm I or phase II, arm III, whichever was established as superior in phase II. Patients receive Maintenance therapy of bevacizumab 10mg/kg/dose every 2 weeks and temozolomide 200 mg/m2/dose Days 1-5, for up to twelve cycles in the absence of progressive disease and unacceptable toxicities.
Patients undergo RT 5 days a week for 6 weeks and receive vorinostat at 230 mg/m2/day. In the event of 2 or more DLTs, participants will de-escalate to vorinostat at 180 mg/m2/day. Patients receive Maintenance therapy of bevacizumab 10mg/kg/dose every 2 weeks and temozolomide 200 mg/m2/dose Days 1-5, for up to twelve cycles in the absence of progressive disease and unacceptable toxicities.
