The purpose of this study is to find out whether Hypofractionated Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (Hypo-IMRT) combining with temozolomide chemotherapy can be safely given with a targeted agent, bevacizumab, and how effective this study treatment will be in controlling your brain tumor.
This is a pilot phase II trial of the combination of concurrent hypofractionated IMRT (60 Gy/2 weeks), temozolomide and bevacizumab followed by 6 cycles of adjuvant bevacizumab and temozolomide in patients with grade IV malignant gliomas (glioblastoma and gliosarcoma). The study will have survival and toxicity endpoints.

Bevacizumab will be administered at 10 mg/kg on day 1 and day 15. Four to six weeks following completion of concurrent IMRT, TMZ and bevacizumab, patients will receive 6 cycles of Bevacizumab.
Patients will be treated with hypofractionated IMRT (60 Gy in 10 Fx) and daily temozolomide at 75 mg/m2 qd concurrent with IMRT. Four to six weeks following completion of concurrent IMRT, TMZ and bevacizumab, temozolomide will be given at 150-200 mg/m2 qd on days 1-5 of each cycle.
Patients will be treated with hypofractionated IMRT (60 Gy in 10 Fx)
