Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy such as talampanel use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die

PURPOSE This phase II trial is studying how well talampanel works in treating patients with recurrent progressive high-grade glioma
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the efficacy of talampanel in terms of 6-month progression-free survival in patients with recurrent high-grade gliomas
Determine preliminarily the toxic effects of this drug in these patients
Determine preliminarily the quality of life of patients treated with this drug
Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in patients who are and who are not receiving enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs

OUTLINE Patients are stratified according to type of glioma anaplastic astrocytoma vs glioblastoma multiforme Patients in each stratum are assigned to 1 of 3 treatment groups according to concurrent enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drug use yes no or valproic acid

Patients in each group receive different doses of oral talampanel 3 times daily on days 1-42 Courses repeat every 42 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Quality of life is assessed at baseline every 3 weeks during the first course every 6 weeks before all subsequent courses and then within 2 weeks of study completion

Patients are followed within 2 weeks

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 91 patients 50 with anaplastic astrocytoma and 41 with glioblastoma multiforme will be accrued for this study within 1 year
