Filter by:RATIONALE: Giving high-dose chemotherapy before an autologous stem cell transplant stops the growth of tumor cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. Giving colony-stimulating factors, such as G-CSF, helps stem cells move from the bone marrow to the blood so they can be collected and stored. Chemotherapy is then given to prepare the bone marrow for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well giving busulfan, melphalan, and topotecan hydrochloride together with a stem cell transplant works in treating patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed solid tumor.
This phase II trial is studying how well gossypol works in treating patients with progressive or recurrent glioblastoma multiforme. Gossypol may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Bevacizumab may reduce CNS side effects caused by radiation therapy. This randomized phase II trial is studying how well bevacizumab works in reducing CNS side effects in patients who have undergone radiation therapy to the brain for primary brain tumor, meningioma, or head and neck cancer.
This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well pazopanib works in treating patients with recurrent glioblastoma. Pazopanib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor
This phase II trial is studying how well giving erlotinib together with sorafenib works in treating patients with progressive or recurrent glioblastoma multiforme. Erlotinib and sorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving erlotinib together with sorafenib may kill more tumor cells.
This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of tandutinib and to see how well it works in treating patients with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma.Tandutinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor.
This phase II trial is studying how well VEGF Trap works in treating patients with recurrent malignant or anaplastic gliomas that did not respond to temozolomide. VEGF Trap may stop the growth of malignant or anaplastic gliomas by blocking blood flow to the tumor.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as Gliadel wafer and O6-benzylguanine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving Gliadel wafer together with O6-benzylguanine works in treating patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme.
This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of erlotinib, tipifarnib, and temsirolimus when given together with sorafenib and to see how well they work in treating patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme or gliosarcoma. Sorafenib, erlotinib, tipifarnib, and temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Sorafenib and tipifarnib may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving sorafenib together with erlotinib, tipifarnib, or temsirolimus may kill more tumor cells.
This phase II trial is studying how well AZD2171 works in treating patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme. AZD2171 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor
