Trial Information

A Phase II Study of Temozolomide (SCH 52365, Temodal(R)) for the Treatment of Recurrent Malignant Glioma


OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the safety and efficacy of temozolomide in patients with recurrent
malignant glioma. II. Determine the radiographic response to this regimen in these patients.
III. Determine the time to tumor progression of these patients on this regimen. IV.
Determine the quality of life of these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive oral temozolomide once daily for 42 days. Courses repeat every 70
days for up to 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Quality of life is assessed every 1-2 months. Patients are followed every 3-4 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20-35 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years.

Inclusion Criteria


DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS: Histologically confirmed recurrent malignant glioma, including:
Glioblastoma Gliosarcoma High grade glioma Anaplastic astrocytoma Anaplastic mixed
oligoastrocytoma Anaplastic oligodendroglioma Must have evidence of tumor recurrence or
progression on gadolinium enhanced MRI or CT scan following radiotherapy with or without
chemotherapy
