Brief Summary: RATIONALE Inserting the gene for herpes virus into a persons cells may improve the bodys ability to fight cancer or make the cancer more sensitive to chemotherapy using antiviral drugs such as ganciclovir

PURPOSE Phase I trial to study the effectivenesss of gene therapy in treating patients with primary brain tumors
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Assess the response to a stereotactically administered recombinant adenovirus vector carrying the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase gene H5010RSVTK followed by intravenous ganciclovir in patients with recurrent malignant glioma II Estimate the maximum tolerated dose of H5010RSVTK in these patients III Describe the toxic effects of H5010RSVTK IV Assess the efficiency of gene transfer and duration of transgene expression in these patients V Assess quantitative and qualitative glucose metabolic activity of tumoral sites by positron emission tomography VI Analyze the immunologic response to adenovirus transduction in these patients VII Determine the benefit and toxicity of multiple doses of H5010RSVTK in patients with resectable tumors

OUTLINE This is a dose-finding study All patients receive stereotactically injected H5010RSVTK a recombinant adenovirus vector containing the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase gene Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of H5010RSVTK until the maximum tolerated dose is reached Ganciclovir is then given on the third post-injection day Patients with unresectable tumors receive ganciclovir for 14 consecutive days Patients with resectable tumors receive ganciclovir for 7 consecutive days before undergoing craniotomy with optimal debulking and injection of a second dose of the adenovirus vector followed by ganciclovir for 14 more days Patients are followed monthly for survival

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 18 patients 9 with resectable tumors and 9 with unresectable tumors will be entered over 3 years
