Brief Summary: RATIONALE Dalteparin may stop the growth of cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor and by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells Combining dalteparin with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells

PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining dalteparin with radiation therapy in treating patients who have newly diagnosed supratentorial glioblastoma multiforme
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine whether dalteparin initiated at the time of conventional radiotherapy improves the median survival of patients with newly diagnosed supratentorial glioblastoma multiforme
Determine the time to progression in patients treated with this regimen
Determine the incidence of thromboembolic events in patients treated with this regimen
Determine the feasibility and toxicity of dalteparin in this patient population

OUTLINE This is a multicenter study

Patients undergo cranial irradiation 5 days a week for 7 weeks Beginning concurrently with initiation of radiotherapy patients receive dalteparin subcutaneously once daily for up to 2 years in the absence of unacceptable toxicity Patients may continue receiving dalteparin after year 2 at the discretion of the investigator

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for up to 5 years after study entry

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 72 patients will be accrued for this study
