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

PURPOSE Phase I trial to study the safety of delivering intrathecal busulfan in children and adolescents who have refractory CNS cancer and to estimate the maximum tolerated dose of this treatment regimen
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the qualitative and quantitative toxicities of intrathecally administered busulfan in children and adolescents with refractory CNS malignancies
Determine the maximum tolerated dose of this treatment regimen in these patients
Determine the cerebrospinal fluid and serum pharmacokinetics of this treatment regimen in these patients
Determine the efficacy of this treatment regimen in these patients

OUTLINE This is a dose-escalation study

Patients receive intrathecal busulfan twice a week at least 3 days apart for 2 weeks Patients with complete or partial response or stable disease may continue therapy once a week for 2 weeks once a week every other week for 2 treatments and then once a month thereafter in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of busulfan until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose limiting toxicities

Patients are followed every 3 months for the first year every 6 months for 4 years and then annually for 5 years

PROJECTED ACCRUAL Approximately 18-24 patients will be accrued for this study over 18-38 months
