Summary

Background:

Glioblastoma is a type of brain cancer. Treatments include radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery. But survival rates are poor. Researchers think that the drug selinexor, when combined with chemotherapy and radiation, might help.

Objective:

To learn the highest dose of selinexor that people with brain cancer can tolerate when given with temozolomide and radiation therapy.

Eligibility:

People ages 18 and older with brain cancer that has not been treated with chemotherapy or radiation.

Design:

Participants will be screened under another protocol.

Before participants start treatment, they will have tests:

Neurological and physical evaluations

Blood and urine tests

Possible computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain if they have not had one in 3 weeks. Participants will lie in a machine that takes pictures of the body. They may have a dye injected into a vein.

Surveys about their well-being

Participants will have radiation to the brain for up to 6 weeks. This will usually be given once a day, Monday through Friday.

Starting the second day of radiation, participants will take selinexor by mouth once a week. They will take it in weeks 1, 2, 4, and 5. The timing may be changed.

Starting the first day of radiation, participants will take temozolomide by mouth once a day until they complete radiation.

Participants will have blood tests once per week during treatment.

Participants will have a follow-up visit 1 month after they complete treatment. Then they will have visits at least every 2 months for the first 2 years, then at least every 3 months for another year. Visits will include MRIs and blood tests.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Selinexor

Selinexor will be administered orally at an initial dose of 80 mg. The first dose will be given on day 2 of radiation and will thereafter be administered weekly on the second day of weekly radiation on weeks 1, 2, 4, and 5. If this dose level is tolerated, the dose will be escalated to 60 mg twice a week (days 1 and 4) on weeks 1,2,4,5. The third and final dose level will also be 60mg administered twice weekly for 6 weeks starting on days 1 and 4 radiation.

DRUG

Temozolomide

Temozolomide will begin on the first day or evening prior of radiation and be administered orally daily at a dose of 75 mg/m\^2 during the radiation treatment. Temozolomide will continue until the completion of radiation and then will be stopped. Beginning 1-month post-radiation therapy (RT), the adjuvant temozolomide will be given per standard of care.

RADIATION

Generic Radiation therapy (RT)

Radiation therapy (RT) will be administered daily (Monday to Friday)

OTHER

Selective serotonin receptor (5-HT3) antagonists

Anti-emetic for breakthrough nausea.

OTHER

Olanzapine

2.5mg to 5mg once a day if weight loss is rapid.

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Salt tablets

To treat hyponatremia, add salt tablets to participants diet per institutional guidelines.

OTHER

Anti-diarrheal

Treat diarrhea with an anti-diarrheal per institutional guidelines
