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 effectiveness of karenitecin in treating patients who have recurrent malignant glioma
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the maximum tolerated dose of karenitecin in patients with recurrent malignant glioma who are receiving or not receiving anticonvulsants known to be metabolized by the P450 hepatic enzyme complex
Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients
Assess the preliminary evidence of therapeutic activity of this drug in these patients

OUTLINE This is a dose-escalation multicenter study Patients are stratified according to use of anticonvulsants known to be metabolized by the P450 hepatic enzyme complex yes vs no

Patients receive karenitecin IV over 60 minutes on days 1-5 Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of karenitecin according to the continual reassessment method until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose associated with a dose-limiting toxicity rate of 33

Patients are followed every 2 months

PROJECTED ACCRUAL Approximately 3-24 patients will be accrued for this study within 1 year
