简要总结

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

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving temozolomide together with radiation therapy works in treating young patients with pontine glioma.

详细描述

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To evaluate the time to death in patients with newly diagnosed diffuse pontine gliomas, when treated with the combination of concomitant low-dose oral temozolomide and radiotherapy, followed by up to 12 months of maintenance therapy with extended low-dose temozolomide.
  • To assess the quality of life of patients with diffuse pontine gliomas during and after treatment.

Secondary

  • To evaluate the time to tumor progression in patients with newly diagnosed diffuse pontine gliomas, when treated with the combination of concomitant low-dose oral temozolomide and radiotherapy, followed by up to 12 months of maintenance therapy with extended low-dose temozolomide.
  • To evaluate and document toxicities from the administration of temozolomide combined with radiotherapy and to further study any toxicities associated with the chronic administration of the extended low-dose temozolomide schedule in this population group.
  • To document radiological response to the above treatment with MR imaging and, where available, functional imaging.
