Summary

The patients eligible for this study are those diagnosed with glioblastoma or gliosarcoma who have recently undergone surgery and who have not been treated with radiation therapy or chemotherapy. This is called a phase II study. The purpose of the phase II study is to determine how effective Tarceva plus Temodar plus radiation is in controlling the growth of glioblastoma and gliosarcoma. All patients will receive radiation and Temodar plus Tarceva. There is no "placebo" drug.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Tarceva

Tarceva (erlotinib hydrochloride; previously referred to as OSI-774), a quinazoline, is an orally active, potent, selective inhibitor of EGFR tyrosine kinase. 100 - 300 milligrams (mg) every day (QD) orally (PO) every (q) 28 days depending on EIAED Status

DRUG

Temodar

Temodar 200 mg/m\^2/day x 5 days every 28 days

PROCEDURE

Radiation Therapy

Radiotherapy will be administered in 180 centigray(cGy)/day - 200cGy/day fractions delivered 5 days per week to a total dose of 5940cGy - 6100cGy. A total of 4500cGy will be delivered to the clinical tumor volume consisting of T2-bright edema + a 2centimeter margin, or, if no edema, the contrast enhancing lesion +2.5 centimeter margin. An additional boost of 1440cGy will be delivered to the gross tumor volume consisting of the contrast enhancing lesion + a 1 centimeter margin.
