Brief Summary

Topotecan is an FDA-approved drug when given by intravenous infection. The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with topotecan by an alternative method, direct delivery into the part of the brain where the tumor has spread, is safe and well tolerated. The Cleveland Multiport Catheter is a new, investigational device that will be used to deliver topotecan into tumor-infiltrated brain. A second purpose of this study is to determine whether the Cleveland Multiport Catheter can be used effectively and safely to deliver topotecan into tumor-infiltrated brain. This study will also examine how tumors responds to treatment with topotecan. This study will also look at the way topotecan is injected into tumors-infiltrated brain. A small amount of contrast dye (called gadolinium DTPA) will be added to topotecan before it is injected. Pictures will be taken of the brain with an MRI machine. This will allow the investigators to see where in the tumor-infiltrated brain the topotecan has been injected. This study will collect medical information before, during, and after treatment in order to better understand hot to make this type of procedure accessible to patients.

Detailed Description

Primary Objectives

• To investigate by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging the spatial and temporal distribution of topotecan in tumor-infiltrated brain administered by convection-enhanced delivery (CED) in patients with recurrent/progressive WHO grade III or IV (high grade) glioma (HGG) who have failed standard therapy comprising surgical biopsy and/or resection and adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy, following a clinically-indicated resection of the contrast enhancing tumor mass.
• To investigate by MR imaging the influence of catheter positioning, on the spatial and temporal distribution of topotecan administered by CED in patients with recurrent/progressive HGG
• To evaluate the extent of spatial distribution of topotecan, by MR imaging, when delivered into non-enhancing tumor tissue (as defined on pre-operative conventional MRI imaging with and without intravenous gadolinium) in the intraoperative setting, the immediate peri-operative setting, and in the post-operative setting.

Secondary Objectives

• To investigate the extent to which CED-mediated delivery of topotecan
• To investigate the extent to which infusate can be distributed in the 2 cm margin around the resection cavity by administration by CED
• To assess the safety, tolerability and toxicity profile of topotecan administered by CED using different infusion rates.
• To observe evidence of activity of single-agent topotecan administered by CED to patients with recurrent/progressive HGG who have failed standard therapy comprising surgical biopsy and/or resection and adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Conditions

Brain Tumor; High Grade Glioma

Study Design

• Allocation Method: NA
• Intervention Model: SINGLE_GROUP

• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Study Groups

intraparenchymally-administered topotecan

Patients will have topotecan administered directly into the tumor bed using convection-enhanced delivery (CED)

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

topotecan

Intervention Type: DRUG

intraparenchymally-administered topotecan will use the Cleveland Multiport Catheter to directly infuse topotecan into the tumor site of patients with suspected recurrent/progressive high grade glioma (HGG). This drug is already FDA approved to be administered intravenously.

Cleveland Multiport Catheter

Intervention Type: DEVICE

The Cleveland Multiport Catheter will directly infuse topotecan into the tumor site of patients with suspected recurrent/progressive high grade glioma (HGG). Standard treatment is to adminsiter the drug intravenously.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria
