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 Paclitaxel may make the tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy

PURPOSE Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combining paclitaxel with radiation therapy in treating children who have newly diagnosed brain stem glioma
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the maximum tolerated dose of paclitaxel when combined with involved-field radiotherapy in children with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic brain stem glioma
Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients
Assess the antitumor activity of this regimen in these patients

OUTLINE This is a multicenter dose-escalation study of paclitaxel

Patients receive induction therapy comprising paclitaxel intravenously IV over 1 hour once weekly and involved-field radiotherapy after paclitaxel infusion once daily 5 days a week for 6 weeks

Beginning 6 weeks after completion of induction therapy patients may receive maintenance therapy comprising paclitaxel IV over 1 hour once every 3 weeks for a total of 8 courses Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

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

Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year every 6 months for 1 year and then annually thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A minimum of 12 patients will be accrued for this study within 12-18 months
