The anti-cancer properties of Antineoplaston therapy suggest that it may prove beneficial in the treatment of adults with persistent or recurrent brain tumors.\n\nPURPOSE: This study is being performed to determine the effects (good and bad) that Antineoplaston therapy has on adults with persistent or recurrent brain tumors.', 'detailedDescription': 'OBJECTIVES:\n\n* To determine the efficacy of Antineoplaston therapy in adults with persistent or recurrent brain tumors as measured by an objective response to therapy (complete response, partial response or stable disease).\n* To determine the safety and tolerance of Antineoplaston therapy in adults with persistent or recurrent brain tumors.\n\nOVERVIEW: This is a single arm, open-label study in which adults with persistent or recurrent brain tumors receive gradually escalating doses of intravenous Antineoplaston therapy (Atengenal + Astugenal) until the maximum tolerated dose is reached. Treatment continues for at least 12 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After 12 months, patients with a complete or partial response or with stable disease may continue treatment.\n\nTo determine objective response, tumor size is measured utilizing MRI scans, which are performed every 8 weeks for the first two years, every 3 months for the third and fourth years, every 6 months for the 5th and sixth years, and annually thereafter.\n\nPROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20-40 patients will be accrued to this study'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '99 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:\n\n* Histologically confirmed brain tumor (except brain stem locations) that is unlikely to respond to existing therapy and for which no curative therapy exists\n* Evidence of persistent or recurrent brain tumor by MRI scan performed within two weeks prior to study entry\n* Tumor must be at least 5 mm\n* Ineligible for other Burzynski Research Institute, Inc. brain tumor protocols\n\nPATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:\n\nAge:\n\n* 18 and over\n\nPerformance status:\n\n* Karnofsky 60-100%\n\nLife expectancy:\n\n* At least 2 months\n\nHematopoietic:\n\n* Hemoglobin at least 9 g/dL\n* WBC at least 2,000/mm\\^3\n* Platelet count at least 50,000/mm\\^3\n\nHepatic:\n\n* Bilirubin no greater than 2.5 mg/dL\n* SGOT/SGPT no greater than 5 times upper limit of normal\n* No hepatic failure\n\nRenal:\n\n* Creatinine no greater than 2.5 mg/dL\n* No history of renal conditions that contraindicate high dosages of sodium\n\nCardiovascular:\n\n* No severe heart disease\n* No uncontrolled hypertension\n* No history of congestive heart failure\n* No history of other cardiovascular conditions that contraindicate high dosages of sodium\n\nPulmonary:\n\n* No severe lung disease\n\nOther:\n\n* Not pregnant or nursing\n* Fertile patients must use effective contraception during and for 4 weeks after study participation\n* No serious active infections or fever\n* No other serious concurrent disease\n\nPRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:\n\nBiologic therapy:\n\n* At least 4 weeks since prior immunotherapy\n* No concurrent immunomodulating agents\n\nChemotherapy:\n\n* At least 4 weeks since prior chemotherapy (6 weeks for nitrosoureas)\n* No concurrent antineoplastic agents\n\nEndocrine therapy:\n\n* Concurrent corticosteroids for cerebral edema allowed (must be on a stable dose for at least 1 week prior to study entry)\n\nRadiotherapy:\n\n* At least 8 weeks since prior radiotherapy\n\nSurgery:\n\n* Must recover from prior surgery\n\nOther:\n\n* Prior cytodifferentiating agent allowed\n* No prior antineoplaston therapy'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT00003457', 'briefTitle': 'Antineoplaston Therapy in Treating Patients With Brain Tumors', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Burzynski Research Institute'}, 'officialTitle': 'Phase II Study Of Antineoplastons A10 And AS2-1 In Patients With Brain Tumors.', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'CDR0000066489'}, 'secondaryIdInfos': [{'id': 'BC-BT-9', 'type': 'OTHER', 'domain': 'Burzynski Research Institute, Inc.'}]}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Antineoplaston therapy', 'description': 'Antineoplaston therapy (Atengenal + Astugenal) by IV infusion every four hours for at least 12 months.
