Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RATIONALE: Radioactive drugs such as phosphorus 32 may be able to kill tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of phosphorus 32 in treating patients with glioblastoma multiforme.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the dosimetry toxicity of interstitial colloidal phosphorus P32 (C P32) in patients with recurrent or poor prognosis grade 4 astrocytoma.
* Determine the maximum tolerated dose of C P32 administered directly into the tumor of these patients.
* Determine the maximum tolerated fractionated dose of interstitial C P32 in these patients.
* Determine the therapeutic response rate to the acceptable single and fractionated doses of C P32 in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive interstitial colloidal phosphorus P32 (C P32) on day 0. Courses repeat every 4-6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3 patients receive escalating doses of C P32 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined the dose at which 2 of 3 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

Patients are followed at 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 15, and 24 weeks.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A minimum of 12 patients will be accrued for this study.
