Eligibility |
Inclusion Criteria: - Patients must have clinically documented primary brain tumor for which resection is clinically indicated. The anticipated histology at resection should include: Anaplastic astrocytoma, Astrocytoma, Brain stem glioma, Ependymoma, Glioblastoma, Glioblastoma multiforme, Gliosarcoma, oligodendroglioma, Medulloblastoma, Mixed astrocytoma-ependymoma - Patients may have prior therapy - 18 years of age - Male or Female - Life expectancy is not a consideration for protocol entry - Patients must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below: Leukocytes >3,000/mL, Absolute neutrophil count >1,500/mL, Platelets >100,000/mL, Total bilirubin within normal institutional limits AST (SGOT)/ALT (SGPT)<2.5 X institutional upper limit of normal, Creatinine within normal institutional limits or Creatinine clearance >60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal - Confirmation of Glial Tumor - Gross total resection is the aim of surgery - Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document or have a parent or guardian with the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: - Non-Glial tumor i.e. tumor abscess, metastasis, lymphoma, vasculitis - Tumor with perforating vessels - Tumor involves critical fiber tracks - Use of the microsurgical tool monopolar loop - Subject has preexisting severe deficits concerning language or motor function not resolved with steroids - Performance Status of less than 60 - Prior therapy is not an exclusion criterion - Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents - History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to aminolevulinic acid (ALA) - Personal or family history of porphorias - Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements |
