Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Thalidomide and celecoxib may stop the growth of tumor cells by stopping blood flow to the tumor and may increase the effectiveness of temozolomide by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug
PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining temozolomide thalidomide and celecoxib following radiation therapy in treating patients who have newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Determine the efficacy of adjuvant temozolomide thalidomide and celecoxib after radiotherapy in terms of time to tumor progression and overall survival in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients
OUTLINE This is a multicenter study
Patients receive oral temozolomide once daily on days 1-5 and oral thalidomide once daily and oral celecoxib twice daily on days 1-28 Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 24 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Patients are followed for survival
PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 55 patients will be accrued for this study
