A Phase II Study of Concurrent Radiation and Temozolomide Followed By Temozolomide and CCNU in the Treatment of Children With High-Grade Glioma

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in
chemotherapy, such as temozolomide and lomustine, work in different ways to stop the growth
of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving
radiation therapy together with temozolomide and lomustine after surgery may kill any
remaining tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving radiation therapy together with
temozolomide and lomustine works in treating young patients with newly diagnosed gliomas.

OBJECTIVES:

- Compare event-free survival of pediatric patients with newly diagnosed high-grade
gliomas treated with adjuvant radiotherapy and temozolomide followed by temozolomide
and lomustine with historical controls.

- Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

- Correlate MGMT and p53 expression in tumor tissue with outcome in patients treated with
this regimen.

- Correlate polymorphisms in GSTP1, GSTM1, and GSTT1 genes and GSTP1 protein expression
in tumors with survival in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a pilot, multicenter study.

- Chemoradiotherapy: Patients receive oral temozolomide once daily on days 1-42. Patients
also undergo concurrent radiotherapy once daily on days 1-5, 8-12, 15-19, 22-26, 29-33,
and 36-40. Patients who did not undergo prior gross total resection also undergo boost
radiotherapy once daily on days 43-47.

- Maintenance chemotherapy: Four weeks after completion of chemoradiotherapy, patients
receive oral temozolomide once daily on days 1-5 and oral lomustine on day 1. Treatment
repeats every 42 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or
unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 3 years, and then
annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 50-100 patients will be accrued for this study within 1-1.5
years.
