Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well temozolomide works in treating patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme or other malignant glioma.

Arms and outcomes
Arms (1)
- type
- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- Temozolomide
- description
- Following diagnosis of tumor recurrence or progression, all patients will receive of daily low dose temozolomide given at 50mg/m2/d without interruption. Brain imaging will be performed at baseline and every 2 months (standard of care). The treatment will be administered until development of toxicity, evidence of progression of disease or death.

Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Progression-free Survival (PFS) Rate at 6 Months
- timeFrame
- at 6 months
- description
- Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.
