Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of Atorvastatin in combination with multimodality therapy of concurrent radiotherapy plus temozolomide followed by adjuvant temozolomide in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 32 individuals.

• Prior radiotherapy or systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy .

• Severe, active co-morbidity, defined as follows: Acute bacterial or fungal infection requiring intravenous antibiotics at the time of registration, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation or other respiratory illness requiring hospitalization or oxygen, Hepatic insufficiency or Active liver disease resulting in clinical jaundice and/or coagulation defects, Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) , Significant neurologic or psychiatric disorder which would impair the ability to obtain informed consent, Active uncontrolled or serious infection, active peptic ulcer disease, Any medical condition which could interfere with oral medication intake (e.g., frequent vomiting, partial bowel obstruction), Myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to registration, Congestive heart failure, unstable angina, active cardiomyopathy, cardiac arrhythmia, Skeletal muscle disease and other related reticule-endothelial diseases.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Progression free survival at 6 months (PFS-6)	All efficacy determinations will be based on the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) response criteria (Wen 2010)	up to 6 months
Secondary	Progression free survival	Progression free survival defined as the time the patient enters the study until first progression or death whichever occurs first	Up to 2-3 years
Secondary	Overall Survival (OS)	Overall Survival defined as the time the patient enters the study to the date of death due to any cause.	Up to 2-3 years
Secondary	Adverse events	The assessment of safety will be based on the frequency of Adverse Events graded (grade 3+) according to the Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effects (NCI-CTCAE) version 4.0 scoring system.	Up to 2-3 years
