Study Summary

RATIONALE: Thalidomide may stop the growth of tumor cells by stopping blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining thalidomide with temozolomide may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the effectiveness of combining thalidomide with temozolomide in treating young patients who have relapsed or progressive brain tumors or recurrent neuroblastoma.

Primary Outcome

Feasibility in this study was defined as completion of 6 months of thalidomide with temozolomide therapy. The corresponding therapy completion rate is defined as the proportion of patients who completed 6 months of therapy.

Interventions
