Temozolomide Plus Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Children With Newly Diagnosed Malignant Glioma or Recurrent CNS or Other Solid Tumors

Completed · Phase 1/Phase 2

Conditions studied: Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors, Childhood Germ Cell Tumor, Head and Neck Cancer, Kidney Cancer, Neuroblastoma, Ovarian Cancer, Sarcoma, Testicular Germ Cell Tumor

In brief

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of temozolomide when given with peripheral stem cell transplantation and to see how well they work in treating children with newly diagnosed malignant glioma or recurrent CNS tumors or other solid tumors.
