Study Summary

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of aminolevulinic acid during surgery in treating patients with malignant brain tumors. Aminolevulinic acid becomes active when it is exposed to a certain kind of light and may help doctors find and remove tumor cells during surgery

Primary Outcome

Using National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Toxicity Criteria to quantify toxicity following ALA administration. We will use descriptive statistics to analyze the safety data, based on NCI toxicity criteria.

Interventions

  • OTHER laboratory biomarker analysis
  • PROCEDURE therapeutic conventional surgery
  • DRUG aminolevulinic acid
