Summary

Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of ixabepilone and how well it works in treating patients with recurrent glioma.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients must have histologically proven malignant glioma (anaplastic astrocytoma or glioblastoma multiforme) which is progressive or recurrent following radiation therapy +/- chemotherapy; patients with previous low grade glioma who progressed after radiotherapy +/- chemotherapy and are biopsied and found to have a high grade glioma are eligible
  • Patients must have measurable progressive or recurrent malignant glioma by MRI or CT imaging
  • Patients must have recovered from severe toxicity of prior therapy; an interval of at least 3 months must have elapsed since the completion of the most recent course of radiation therapy while at least 3 weeks must have elapsed since the completion of a non-nitrosourea containing chemotherapy regimen and at least 6 weeks since the completion of a nitrosourea containing chemotherapy regimen
  • Patients must have a Karnofsky performance status >= 60% (i.e. the patient must be able to care for himself/herself with occasional help from others)
  • Absolute neutrophil count >= 1500/mm^3
  • Platelets >= 100,000/mm^3
  • HgB > 9 g/dl
  • Creatinine = = five years
  • Patients must be maintained on a stable corticosteroid regimen from the time of their baseline scan until the start of treatment
  • Patients must have a Mini Mental State Exam score of >= 15

Exclusion Criteria

  • Patients with serious concurrent infection or medical illness, which would jeopardize the ability of the patient to receive the treatment outlined in this protocol with reasonable safety
  • Patients who are pregnant or breast-feeding
  • Patients with more than 2 prior chemotherapy regimens
  • Patients receiving concurrent investigational agents
  • Patients receiving any of the following medications which are known to be moderate to significant inhibitors of CYP3A4 are not eligible:
  • Antibiotics: clarithromycin, erythromycin, troleandomycin
  • Anti-HIV agents: delavirdine, nelfinavir, amprenavir, ritonavir, indinavir, saquinavir, lopinavir
  • Antifungals: itraconazole, ketoconazole, fluconazole (doses > 200mg/day), voriconazole
  • Antidepressants: nefazodone, fluvoxamine
  • Calcium channel blockers: verapamil, diltiazem
  • Miscellaneous: amiodarone NOTE: The above list of agents was provided by the National Cancer Institute as moderate to significant inhibitors of CYP3A4 that should not be administered with BMS; there may be other agents that have similar activities on CYP3A4, however these are currently unspecified; if investigators are concerned about a particular medication's inhibitory effect on CYP3A4, they are encouraged to consult local pharmacy services for more information and to contact the principal investigator to discuss the situation further
