Brief Summary: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of imatinib mesylate in treating patients who have recurrent meningioma Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVE
I Determine the efficacy of imatinib mesylate in terms of 6-month progression-free survival of patients with recurrent meningioma
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES I Determine the response rate and overall survival of patients treated with this drug
II Evaluate the safety profile of this drug in these patients III Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients IV Develop exploratory data concerning surrogate markers of of angiogenic activity in vivo using functional neuro-imaging studies and in vitro assays of serum angiogenic peptides of this drug in these patients
V Develop exploratory data concerning evidence of platelet-derived growth factor PDGF inhibition in tumor specimens taken from patients undergoing surgery VI Develop exploratory data correlating molecular abnormalities in the tumor with response in patients treated with this drug
OUTLINE This is a multicenter study Patients are stratified according to concurrent use of enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs yes vs no histology benign vs atypical or malignant neurofibromatosis positivity yes vs no and preoperative candidacy yes vs no
Patients receive oral imatinib mesylate once or twice daily Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Patients are followed every 3 months
PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 60 patients 30 per stratum will be accrued for this study within 8-12 months
