Summary

The purpose of this study is to: Find out how safe and effective (by monitoring the good and/or bad effects) treatment with high dose temozolomide, thiotepa and carboplatin with stem cell rescue followed by 13-cis-retinoic acid has on children and adolescents with recurrent/refractory brain tumors Find out how the body uses 13-cis-retinoic acid by studying the your blood levels and proteins in the blood that break down the 13-cis-retinoic acid Determine how well 13-cis-retinoic acid penetrates into the spinal fluid.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients with recurrent or refractory medulloblastoma/PNET, CNS germ cell tumors, ependymomas, AT/RT, high grade glioma and other malignant brain tumors. Brainstem gliomas are eligible if residual disease is < 1.5cc and if the patient is off decadron.
  • Patients must have recurrent or refractory disease following at least one prior course of therapy and must have minimal residual disease defined as < 1.5 cm2 of enhancement. Patients with + CSF cytology, linear or fine nodular leptomeningeal disease are eligible.
  • Adequate hematologic, renal, liver, and cardiac function as demonstrated by laboratory values performed within 21 days, inclusive, prior to administration of temozolomide.
  • Patients must have an adequate number of autologous stem cells available defined as a minimum of 2 x 106 CD 34+ cells/kg and preferably at least 5 x 106 CD 34+ cells/kg.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Previous myeloablative therapy
  • Frequent vomiting or medical condition that could interfere with oral medication intake (e.g., partial bowel obstruction)
  • Previous or concurrent malignancies at other sites with the exception of surgically cured carcinoma in-situ of the cervix and basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. Patients with prior malignancies which have not required anti-tumor treatment within the preceding 24 months are eligible.
