This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of terameprocol in treating patients with high-grade glioma that has come back. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as terameprocol, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.

women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation, and through 30 days after the last dose of study drug; should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately; men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and through 30 days after the last dose of study drug - Patients must have no concurrent malignancy except curatively treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix, breast, or bladder; patients with prior malignancies must be disease-free for >= five years - Patients must be able to swallow oral medications - Part 2 (surgical) patients only: patients must be undergoing surgery that is clinically indicated as determined by their care providers; patients must be eligible for surgical resection according to the following criteria: - Expectation that the surgeon is able to resect at least 100 mg of tumor from enhancing tumor and at least 100 mg from non-enhancing tumor with low risk of inducing neurological injury Exclusion Criteria: - Patients receiving any other investigational agents are ineligible - Patient must not have known sensitivity to terameprocol or any formulation excipients - Patients with (mean of triplicate) QTc(F) >/= 450mS on screening 12-lead triplicate electrocardiogram (ECG) are ineligible - Patients must not be on any anticoagulation - Patients on any moderate or strong cytochrome P450 family 2, subfamily C, polypeptide 9 (CYP2C9) inducer (e.g., carbamazepine, rifampin) or inhibitor (e.g., amiodarone, fluconazole) are ineligible; CYP2C9 poor metabolizers will not be excluded - Patients on narrow-therapeutic drugs that are substrates for cytochrome P450 family 1, subfamily A, polypeptide 2 (CYP1A2), CYP2C9, cytochrome P450 family 2, subfamily C, polypeptide 19 (CYP2C19), and cytochrome P450 family 3, subfamily A, polypeptide 4 (CYP3A4) are ineligible (e.g., alfentanil, cyclosporine, dihydroergotamine, ergotamine, fentanyl, phenytoin, pimozide, quinidine, sirolimus, tacrolimus, theophylline, tizanidine, warfarin) - Patient must not have prior gastrointestinal (GI) surgery or GI disease that might interfere with the absorption of terameprocol - Patients with 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, are ineligible - Pregnant women are excluded from this study; breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with terameprocol - Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Maximum tolerated dose of terameprocol (Part 1) | To estimate the MTDs in terms of clinical toxicities, a modified continual reassessment method, based on that described by Piantadosi et al. will be employed. Dose escalation will be guided by observed clinical toxicity in 3 patients per dose cohort after the initial dose. | Day 1 - Day28 (First Cycle) | |
| Primary | Change in terameprocol tumor to plasma concentration ratio (Part 2) | The tumor/plasma concentration ratio will be estimated. | Baseline, Pre-surgery (shortly before start of surgery - within 1hr) and post surgery (as soon as practical afer completion of surgery - approx 4 hrs) | |
| Primary | Maximum tolerated days of terameprocol dosing that can safely be administered on a continuous basis (Part 3) | This is a escalation study. The escalation is the number of continuous days that terameprocol can be given. Terameprocol dose will remain constant at a fix dose everyday. | Up to 28 days |
