Résumé
Date de début de l'étude : 1 décembre 1998
Date à laquelle le premier participant a commencé l'étude.OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the therapeutic activity of temozolomide as first line chemotherapy in patients with recurrent oligodendroglial tumors after radiation therapy. II. Assess the objective response and duration of response of these patients given this treatment. III. Characterize the acute side effects of temozolomide in this patient population. OUTLINE: This is an open label, multicenter study. Patients receive oral temozolomide on days 1-5. Courses are repeated every 28 days. Treatment continues for a maximum of 12 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Patients are followed every 3 months until disease progression. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 15-33 patients will be accrued for this study.
