* Growth Factors: Must be at least 2 weeks since prior colony-stimulating factors (e.g., filgrastim \[G-CSF\], sargramostim \[GM-CSF\], or erythropoietin)
* Prior Chemotherapy: Must have received last dose of myelosuppressive anticancer chemotherapy ≥ 3 weeks prior to study registration and ≥ 6 weeks for nitrosoureas. Must have received last dose of nonmyelosuppressive investigational agents or anticancer drugs ≥ 7 days prior to study registration. Participants who have received prior temozolomide are eligible
* Concurrent Endocrine Therapy: Concurrent corticosteroid therapy is allowed
