Summary

This study tests whether adding the chemotherapy drug capecitabine to the standard treatment temozolomide helps people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma live longer without their cancer growing. About 67 adults aged 18 to 74 who have completed initial radiation and chemo will take both drugs by mouth. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and more effective than temozolomide alone.
