This is an interventional treatment trial for Adult Anaplastic Astrocytoma
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients must have a previously histologically or cytologically confirmed glioma (astrocytic or oligodendroglial supratentorial tumors grades 3 or 4 according to the World Health Organization [WHO] 2007 classification) that has been previously treated with fractionated radiation therapy and now shows evidence of recurrence
- Patients must have recovered from the toxic effects of prior therapy
- Patients must have recovered from the effects of any prior surgery to any part of the body; there must be a minimum of 28 days from the day of surgery to the day of registration; for core or needle biopsy, a minimum of 7 days must have elapsed prior to registration
- Patients may have previously undergone more than one craniotomy
- Prior treatment with cytotoxic and biological agents is permissible; there should be at least a 2 week break between prior treatment and enrollment; (in the case of bevacizumab, since this trial involves surgery, at least 4 weeks should elapse between last dose of drug and enrollment, in the case of nitrosoureas or mitomycin C, at least 6 weeks)
- Prior treatment with fractionated radiation therapy (up to 60 Gray [Gy]) is an eligibility criterion, however this should have been completed >= 4 weeks prior to enrollment and there should not have been a second course of fractionated radiotherapy to the supratentorial area

- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients who have had:
- Radiotherapy within 4 weeks
- Chemotherapy/biological agents (excluding bevacizumab, nitrosoureas and mitomycin C) within 2 weeks
- Bevacizumab within 4 weeks
- Nitrosoureas and mitomycin C within 6 weeks prior to entering the study
- Those who have not recovered from acute adverse events due to any prior therapeutic agents

Analysis of study data will be descriptive, including summary tables of toxicity. An exploratory retrospective trend analysis will be performed assessing for a correlation between plasma drug level and toxicity, using exact logistic regression models.
Dose limiting toxicities (grade 3 or higher) defined by Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) version 4.0
Analysis of study data will be descriptive, including summary tables of toxicity. An exploratory retrospective trend analysis will be performed assessing for a correlation between plasma drug level and toxicity, using exact logistic regression models.
Overall survival (OS)
Analysis of study data will be descriptive, including Kaplan-Meier estimates of survival outcomes.

Analysis of study data will be descriptive, including Kaplan-Meier estimates of survival outcomes.

Brief Summary
This study is being done to determine if an investigational cancer treatment called vorinostat combined with fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy (FSRT) is effective in treating recurrent high grade gliomas. The main goal of this research study is to determine the highest dose of vorinostat that can be given to patients with recurrent tumors. The study will also determine the potential side effects and safety of these treatment combinations. Vorinostat is a small molecule inhibitor of histone deacetylase (HDAC). HDAC inhibitors help unravel the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of the cancer cells and make them more susceptible to the treatment with radiation.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the phase II dose when intermittent short-course vorinostat is combined with fractionated radiation therapy in recurrent high-grade glioma.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Define the pharmacokinetics of vorinostat entry into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and demonstrate that vorinostat influences glioma biology.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of vorinostat.
Patients receive high-dose vorinostat orally (PO) at 48, 27, and 3 hours prior to surgery. Beginning 2-6 weeks later, patients receive vorinostat PO once daily (QD) on days 1-3 in weeks 1-2and undergo fractionated stereotactic body radiation therapy on days 1-5 in weeks 1-2. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 30 days and then every 3 months for 2 years.
