30The purpose of this study is to compare the response to treatment and side effects associated with high dose irinotecan in patients with recurrent brain tumors.
This is a phase I/II study of high dose irinotecan in patients with recurrent unresectable malignant glioma on steroids/anti-epileptics. The purpose is to compare the response to treatment and side effects associated with high dose irinotecan in patients with recurrent brain tumors.
Cohort #1--Irinotecan 750 mg/m2 IV over 90 minutes Q 3 weeks x 15 patients; Cohort #2--Irinotecan 500 mg/m2 IV over 90 minutes Q 2 weeks x 3 patients; Cohort #3--Irinotecan 600 mg/m2 IV over 90 minutes Q 2 weeks x 3 patients. Additional increments of 50 mg/m2 for subsequent cohorts until MTD is reached.
