RATIONALE: Lonafarnib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth.
Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving lonafarnib together with temozolomide may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of lonafarnib when given together with temozolomide in treating patients with recurrent primary supratentorial glioma.

Official Title: | Phase I Study Of SCH66336 (Lonafarnib), A Farnesyl Protein Transferase Inhibitor In Combination With Temozolomide In Gliomas |
Estimated Enrollment: | 30 |
Study Start Date: | March 2004 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date: | January 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
OBJECTIVES:

OUTLINE: This is a nonrandomized, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study of lonafarnib.
Patients receive oral temozolomide once daily on days 2-6 of course 1 and on days 1-5 of all subsequent courses.
Patients also receive oral lonafarnib twice daily on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of lonafarnib until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose at which 1 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. An additional 3 patients may be treated at the highest dose level achieved.
Patients are followed every 8 weeks for 6 months and then every 3 months thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 3-30 patients will be accrued for this study.
