Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die

PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of phenylacetate in treating children with recurrent or progressive brain tumors
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Determine the efficacy of phenylacetate in terms of response rate and time to progression in children with recurrent or progressive brain tumors or with previously untreated poor prognosis brain tumors II Assess the toxicity of phenylacetate in these patients treated at the maximum tolerated dose III Determine the correlation between serum steady state phenylacetate levels and toxicity or response in these patients

OUTLINE Patients are stratified by histologic type anaplastic astrocytoma and glioblastoma multiforme vs brain stem glioma vs medulloblastoma and primitive neuroectodermal tumors vs ependymoma vs low grade glioma vs others Patients receive phenylacetate as a continuous intravenous infusion on days 1-28 Courses of treatment are given continuously without rest Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Patients are followed weekly

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 9-30 patients per stratum will be accrued for this study in 2 years
