Clinical Trial Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of temozolomide in treating patients who have recurrent or progressive malignant glioma.


Clinical Trial Description

OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the progression-free survival and response rate of patients with recurrent or progressive malignant glioma treated with temozolomide.

- Determine whether certain categories of malignant gliomas, such as oligodendroglioma, are more sensitive to temozolomide.

- Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to histologic categories (recurrent glioblastoma multiforme [closed to accrual 11/30/01] vs recurrent anaplastic astrocytoma vs recurrent anaplastic oligodendroglioma).

Patients receive oral temozolomide twice daily for 5 consecutive days. Courses repeat every 28 days for up to 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 100 patients will be accrued for this study within 3 years. ;
