Purpose
RATIONALE: Erlotinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for cancer cell growth.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of erlotinib in treating patients who have recurrent or progressive glioblastoma multiforme.

| Official Title: | Phase II Study Trial Of Tarceva In Patients With Recurrent/Progressive Glioblastoma Multiforme |
- Response rate [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Progression-free survival [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Overall survival [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Efficacy of erlotinib in inhibiting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Efficacy of tumor EGFR amplification in predicting response to treatment [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
| Estimated Enrollment: | 73 |
| Study Start Date: | August 2002 |
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the response rate of patients with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma multiforme treated with erlotinib.
- Determine the progression-free and overall survival of patients treated with this drug.
OUTLINE: Patients receive oral erlotinib daily. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients are followed for survival.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 73 patients will be accrued for this study.
