Brief Summary: Objectives

11 To determine the efficacy as measured by 6 month progression-free survival of therapy with thalidomide combined with CPT-11 in the treatment of patients with recurrent andor progressive malignant gliomas

12 To determine the rate of measureable clinical response in patients treated with Thalidomide and CPT-11

13 To determine Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura TTP overall survival and unexpected toxicity of Thalidomide and CPT-11 used in recurrent malignant gliomas

14 To determine changes in dynamic magnetic resonance imaging MRI as a surrogate marker for treatment effect
Detailed Description: Thalidomide is a drug that interferes with the growth of blood vessels Thalidomide may help to decrease the blood supply in the tumor and make it unable to grow CPT-11 is a drug that was designed to stop cancer cells from dividing

All participants will take thalidomide capsules by mouth every evening at bedtime You will begin with 1 capsule every night for the first week then increase to 2 capsules every night for a week and then 3 capsules a night for the third week After that you will increase the dose to 4 capsules each night for the rest of the study The dosages may be adjusted if you experience any severe side effects

In addition to thalidomide you will receive treatment with CPT-11 through a continuous injection into a vein over 90 minutes once a week for 4 weeks followed by 2 weeks of rest from the drug This 6 week period is called a course of therapy The courses of therapy will be repeated as long as the disease is responding to treatment for up to 2 years

THIS IS AN INVESTIGATIONAL STUDY Both drugs are commercially available Thalidomide and CPT-11 are FDA approved for the treatment of some cancers The combination of these drugs is investigational

Up to 78 participants will take part in this study All will be enrolled at M D Anderson
