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

PURPOSE Phase III trial to study the effectiveness of procarbazine in treating patients who have progressive or recurrent astrocytoma oligodendroglioma or glioblastoma multiforme following treatment with radiation therapy
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the maximum tolerated dose of oral procarbazine when administered to patients with recurrent glioma receiving or not receiving anticonvulsants metabolized by the P450 hepatic enzyme complex
Determine the pharmacokinetics of oral procarbazine including any effects of hepatic enzyme inducing drugs in these patients
Assess the response rate to procarbazine in these patients
Evaluate this regimen in terms of overall survival and duration of disease free survival in these patients
Evaluate the toxicity of this regimen in these patients

OUTLINE Phase I of this study is a dose escalation study Patients are stratified according to concurrent use of anticonvulsant drugs that induce cytochrome P450 yes vs no drugs or modest-induction drugs

Phase I Patients receive oral procarbazine once daily for 5 days Treatment repeats every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Cohorts of 6 patients receive escalating doses of oral procarbazine until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined

Phase II Once the MTD is determined patients receive procarbazine as in Phase I

Patients are followed every 2 months until death

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 24-35 patients will be accrued for this study
