Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells Giving chemotherapy together with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells

PURPOSE This phase II trial is studying how well giving chemotherapy together with radiation therapy after surgery followed by chemotherapy alone works in children with newly diagnosed astrocytoma glioblastoma multiforme gliosarcoma or diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Compare the event-free survival of patients with newly diagnosed anaplastic astrocytoma glioblastoma multiforme gliosarcoma or diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma DIPG treated with adjuvant temozolomide administered concurrently with postoperative radiotherapy and then alone as maintenance therapy vs historical control cohorts treated in prior Pediatric Oncology Group and Childrens Cancer Group studies
Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients
Determine the efficacy of this regimen in patients with DIPG
Determine the toxicity of this regimen in patients with DIPG

OUTLINE This is a multicenter study

Adjuvant chemoradiotherapy Beginning within 6 weeks after surgical resection or diagnosis patients without gross residual disease undergo cranial irradiation 5 days a week for 6 weeks Beginning within 6 weeks after surgical resection patients with gross residual disease undergo radiotherapy as above followed by boost radiotherapy for 1 week All patients receive oral temozolomide once daily beginning within 5 days after initiation of radiotherapy and continuing for a total of 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Adjuvant maintenance therapy Beginning 4 weeks after completion of adjuvant chemoradiotherapy patients receive oral temozolomide on days 1-5 Treatment repeats every 28 days for a total of 10 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

NOTE For patients with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma only

Patients are followed every 3-6 months for 4 years and then annually thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 50-60 patients will be accrued for this study within 12-14 months
