Clinical Trial Summary

RATIONALE: Biological therapies such as poly-ICLC use different ways to stimulate the immune system and stop tumor cells from growing.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how poly-ICLC works in treating patients with recurrent, progressive, or relapsed anaplastic glioma.


Clinical Trial Description

OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the objective response rate in patients with recurrent or progressive anaplastic glioma treated with poly ICLC.

- Determine the efficacy of this drug, in terms of 6-month progression-free survival, in these patients.

- Determine the safety profile of this drug in these patients.

- Determine the survival of patients treated with this drug.

- Determine the tumor response rate in patients treated with this drug.

- Determine the biological effects of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive poly ICLC intramuscularly 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 22-46 patients will be accrued for this study. ;
