What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This phase II trial compares a short course of high-dose radiation (over fewer days) to the standard longer course for people with glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. The goal is to see if the shorter treatment is just as good at keeping patients alive while possibly causing fewer side effects. About 170 adults with confirmed glioblastoma are participating.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
short course radiotherapy (accelerated hypofractionated radiation therapy)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a more convenient and less toxic radiation option for glioblastoma patients without compromising survival.
What could go wrong
This is a mid-stage trial with 170 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The shorter course might not be as effective as standard treatment, and there is still risk of side effects.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age \>= 18 years * Histological and/or molecular confirmation of glioblastoma * Eastern Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) =\< 3 * Ability to complete questionnaire(s) by themselves or with assistance * Provide written informed consent or have a legally authorized representative (LAR) who is responsible for the care and well-being of the potential study participant, provide consent * Willing to return to enrolling institution for follow-up either in-person or by video visit * Postoperative/post-biopsy tumor plus surgical bed size =\< 6 cm in maximum diameter. This measurement includes both the enhancing region identified via T1 MRI with contrast, as well as the surgical cavity Exclusion Criteria: * Unable to undergo MRI scans with contrast * Unable to undergo an 18F-DOPA-PET scan (e.g., Parkinson's Disease, taking carbidopa/levodopa and/or less than 48 hours from discontinuance) * Any of the following: * Pregnant women * Nursing women * Men or women of childbearing potential who are unwilling to employ adequate contraception * Tumors with IDH mutation * Previous brain radiation therapy * Patients who will not receive any radiation treatment or who will receive radiation treatment elsewhere (Note: radiotherapy can be given on the trial at Mayo Clinic facilities in Rochester, Arizona, or Florida, as well as at the Mayo Clinic Health System sites). Temozolomide, however, can be provided by another institution
