Number of Participants to Complete Model Adapted Radiations Fractionation Scheduled Primary · 10 Days

Successful completion of radiotherapy is defined as receipt of all scheduled fractions of daily radiotherapy within 24 hours of once daily fractions and within 1 hour of three-times daily fractions.

Mathematical Model-Adapted Radiation14
Number of Participants With Radiation Necrosis Secondary · 6 months

Radiation necrosis (RN) was defined by clinical assessment including imaging features of an expansile, centrally hypointense lesion with increasing surrounding vasogenic edema and typically without features of high grade recurrence (restricted diffusion, elevated cerebral blood volume). Symptomatic RN included patients with radiographic RN requiring intervention such as corticosteroid therapy for neurologic symptoms, headaches, or signs of elevated intracranial pressure.

Number of Participants With Seizures Secondary · 6 months

Count of number of patients developing new/worsening seizures within 6 months of receiving protocol radiation therapy

Overall Survival (OS) Secondary · range of follow-up from date of registration was 1.2 - 38.6 months

Overall Survival (OS) based on the Kaplan-Meier method is defined as the time from study entry to death or censored at date last known alive.

Grade 3-5 Treatment-related Toxicity Rate Secondary · 6 Months

All grade 3-5 adverse events (AE) with treatment attribution of possibly, probably or definite based on CTCAEv5 as reported on case report forms were counted. Rate is the proportion of treated participants experiencing at least one treatment-related grade 3-5 AE of any type during the time of observation.

Median Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Secondary · Disease evaluated on visit 4,5,6 and every 2-4 months in long-term. The range of follow-up from date of registration was 1.2 - 38.6 months and the median was 7.3 months.

Progression-free survival based on the Kaplan-Meier method is defined as the duration between randomization and documented disease progression (PD) (defined protocol section 12.7) or death, or is censored at time of last disease assessment.

Median Local Recurrence-free Survival Secondary · Disease evaluated on visit 4,5,6 and every 2-4 months in long-term. The range of follow-up from date of registration was 1.2 - 38.6 months and the median was 7.3 months.

Local recurrence-free survival based on the Kaplan-Meier method is defined as the duration between randomization and documented Local recurrence or death, or is censored at time of last disease assessment.

Sponsor's own description

This research study is studying a new schedule of radiation therapy for recurrent glioblastoma as a possible treatment for this diagnosis. This radiation schedule is based on a new model for radiation resistance in glioblastoma. The name of the radiation schedule involved in this study is: \- Re-irradiation for glioblastoma using a novel Mathematical Model-Adapted Radiation Fractionation Schedule
