This phase II trial is studying how well giving O6-benzylguanine together with temozolomide works in treating young patients with recurrent or progressive gliomas or brain stem tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as O6-benzylguanine and temozolomide , work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping th...

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With an Objective Response (Complete Response or Partial Response)Week 8, 16, 24, 32, and 40 after starting therapy

The primary endpoint is to assess the percentage of participants with a sustained objective response (complete response (CR) or partial response (PR)). Response is assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) per the following criteria: CR - disappearance of tumor and PR - ≥50% reduction in tumor based on the maximal cross-sectional measurements. The respons...

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Patients With Grade 3 or 4 Adverse Events at Least Possibly Related to the Combination of O6-benzylguanine and TemozolomideFrom day 1 of therapy up to 49 months

Clinical and laboratory studies to assess adverse events are obtained at least every four weeks (prior to each course) with some laboratory studies obtained every 2 weeks. Adverse events are graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 3.0 (CTCAE v3.0). Attribution of each adverse event to the treat...
