Study Summary

RATIONALE: Genetically-modified neural stem cells (NSCs) that convert 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC) into the chemotherapy agent 5-FU (fluorouracil) at sites of tumor in the brain may be an effective treatment for glioma. PURPOSE: This clinical trial studies genetically-modified NSCs and 5-FC in patients undergoing surgery for recurrent high-grade gliomas.

Primary Outcome

Measures of feasibility include the incidence of clinically symptomatic intratumoral hemorrhage, CNS infection, seizures, altered mental status, development of focal neurologic deficits, as well as chemotherapy-associated toxicities. All toxicities at each dose level will be summarized using descriptive statistics. Graded using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0
