Official Title: Phase II Trial of Continuous Dose Temozolomide in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Pure and Mixed Anaplastic Oligodendroglioma

Brief Summary:

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 newly diagnosed anaplastic oligodendroglioma or mixed oligoastrocytoma.


Detailed Summary:

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine progression-free survival of patients with newly diagnosed anaplastic oligodendroglioma (AO) or mixed oligoastrocytoma (MOA) treated with temozolomide.
  • Determine the response rate in these patients.
  • Assess the quality of life of patients with AO or MOA treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a parallel-group, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to disease type (anaplastic oligodendroglioma vs mixed oligoastrocytoma).

Patients receive oral temozolomide once daily on days 1-7 and 15-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 8 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Quality of life is assessed at baseline, before courses 1, 3, 5, and 7, every 3 months for the first year after completion of treatment, every 4 months for the second year, every 6 months for the third and fourth years, and once a year thereafter.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 60 patients will be accrued for this study.
