This Phase II, randomized, open-label trial (VERTU; ACTRN12615000407594) compares standard radiotherapy plus temozolomide against the addition of veliparib in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma with unmethylated MGMT promoter. Participants are randomized 2:1 to veliparib plus radiotherapy and adjuvant therapy or standard care. The primary endpoint is 6-month progression-free survival; secondary endpoints include overall survival, toxicity, quality of life, and cognitive function.

Control Arm: Radiotherapy (60Gy/30 fractions) for 6 weeks plus concurrent temozolomide daily (75mg/m2) followed 4 weeks later by a 6 month course of adjuvant temozolomide (150-200mg/m2) days 1-5 every 28 days
Experimental Arm: Veliparib capsules 200mg per oral two times per day for 6 weeks with concurrent radiotherapy (60Gy/30 fractions) followed 4 weeks later by a 6 month course of adjuvant temozolomide capsules (150-200mg/m2* per oral days 1-5, every 28 days) given concurrently with veliparib capsules (40mg per oral two times per day).
