Study Summary

This randomized phase II trial studies how well low-dose lenalidomide works compared with high-dose lenalidomide in treating younger patients with juvenile pilocytic astrocytomas or optic nerve pathway gliomas that have come back (recurrent), have not responded to treatment (refractory), or are growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive). Lenalidomide is classified as an immunomodulatory drug as it boosts the immune system. It has other potential anti-tumor effects, for example, it may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether low-dose lenalidomide is more or less effective than high-dose lenalidomide in treating patients with juvenile pilocytic astrocytomas or optic nerve pathway gliomas.

Primary Outcome

Number of patients who demonstrate a complete or partial response as defined below: Complete Response - Complete disappearance of all known disease for at least 4 weeks; Partial Response - A reduction of at least 50% in the size of all measurable tumor as quantitated by the sum of the products of the largest diameters of measurable lesions when compared with that measurement at the time of study enrollment and maintained for at least 4 weeks.

Interventions

  • DRUG Lenalidomide
  • OTHER Pharmacological Study
