Participant milestones
Measure
Treatment (R-(-)-Gossypol Acetic Acid)
Patients receive oral R-(-)-gossypol once daily on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Laboratory Biomarker Analysis: Patients undergo tumor tissue and blood sample collection at baseline and periodically during study for biomarker correlative studies. Archived tumor tissue samples, if available, are analyzed for Bcl-2 family protein expression (e.g., Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, MCl-1, Bax, Bak, and BH3 domain for BH3 members only) and o6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) gene methylation status. Blood samples are analyzed for apoptotic protein levels (Bcl-2) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. R-(-)-gossypol acetic acid: Given PO laboratory biomarker analysis: Correlative studies

Population: 5 patients were not evaluable for response

Complete response Complete disappearance of all tumor on MRI scan, off all glucocorticoids with stable or improving neurological exam minimum of 4 wks Partial response Greater than or equal 50% reduction in tumor size on MRI, on sable or decreasing glucocorticoids with stable or improving neurological exam for a minimum of 4 wks. Progressive disease Progressive neurological abnormalities not explained by other causes or greater than 25% increase in size of tumor or if new lesion. Stable disease Clinical status and MRI does not qualify for complete response, partial response or progression
