Study Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as tetra-O-methyl nordihydroguaiaretic acid (EM-1421), work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of EM-1421 and to see how well it works in treating patients with recurrent high-grade glioma.

Primary Outcome

Using the PEG formulation pts both with and without enzyme inducing antiseizure drugs (EIASD) were treated at Doses 750, 1100, 1700, 2200 mg/day for five days = 28pts Using the PEG free formulation pts with and without EIASD) were treated at 1700 and 2200 mg/day X 5 days = 8pgs
