Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients with histologically proven glioblastoma (according to the WHO classification ; the presence of oligodendroglial elements is allowed provided these make up less than 25% of the tumor).
  • ? Recurrent disease documented by MRI after failing prior therapy (usually standard RT with concomitant and maintenance temozolomide ).
  • ? Patients with multifocal disease not amenable to radiotherapy are eligible, provided they have received no or no more than 1 line of prior chemotherapy.
  • ? Presence of at least one bidimensionally measurable target lesion (contrast enhancing lesion) with a largest diameter of at least 2cm, based on MRI scan done within two weeks prior to registration.
  • ? No prior chemotherapy for recurrent disease, or a maximum of only one prior chemotherapy regimen given as adjuvant treatment. In all cases, prior chemotherapy must be completed for at least 4 weeks (or 6 weeks if a nitrosoureas contain regimen was used) prior to registration on study.
  • ? Patients who received concomitant/adjuvant temozolomide as first-line therapy are eligible.
  • ? Age = 18 years.
  • ? WHO Performance status 0-2.
  • ? Patients must be on a stable or decreasing dose of corticosteroids for at least one week prior to inclusion/registration.
  • ? No prior surgery for recurrent primary brain tumor within the last 3 months prior to registration, except if immediate (within 72 hours) post operative imaging is available documenting clearly measurable residual disease or a postoperative follow up gives evidence of a progressive and measurable target lesion, or a second measurable target lesion outside the surgical area is present.
  • ? Completion of prior radiotherapy to the brain for more than 3 months prior to registration.
  • ? No prior treatment with high dose radiotherapy (> 65 Gy), stereotactic radiosurgery or internal radiation therapy unless the recurrence is subsequently histologically confirmed.
  • ? Patients must not be taking antiepileptic agents or be on nonenzyme inducing antiepileptic drugs (EIAED). Patients taking phenytoin, carbamazepin or phenobarbital are not eligible.
  • ? For patients on EIAED, they should have been switched to non-EIAEDs with a wash-out period of at least one month.
  • ? Normal hematological functions: neutrophils = 1.5 x 109 cells/l, platelets =100 x 109 cells/l
  • ? Normal liver function: bilirubin < 1.5 x ULN, alkaline phosphatase and transaminases (ASATALAT) < 2.5 times the upper limit of the normal range.
  • ? Serum creatinine < 1.5 x ULN.
  • ? Clinically normal cardiac function without history of ischemic heart disease in the past 12 months. Absence of cardiac insufficiency NYHA grade III and IV, instable angina, arrhythmia.
  • Patients with stable ischemic heart disease (e.g. treated prior angina, stable under appropriate therapy) are eligible.
  • ? No previous or current malignancy at other sites with the exception of cone biopsied carcinoma of the cervix and adequately treated basal or squamous cell skin carcinoma.
  • ? All patients (male and female) must use effective contraception methods according to CPMP/ICH/286/95 if of reproductive potential (e.g. implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, IUDs, sexual abstinence or vasectomised partner).
  • ? Females must not be pregnant at entry or lactating.
  • ? Absence of any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical factors potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule.
  • There is no reason to believe that the representation of males and females would differ i
