Pharmacologic Study of Methotrexate in Patients Undergoing Stereotactic Biopsy for Recurrent High-Grade Glioma

NCT00463008

Non-randomizedTreatment

Summary

RATIONALE: Collecting fluid from a brain tumor using a small catheter may help doctors learn how much methotrexate gets into the tumor to kill the tumor cells. It may also help doctors learn how methotrexate works in the brain and in the rest of the body. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how much methotrexate gets into the brain tumor by collecting fluid directly from the tumor through a small catheter in patients undergoing stereotactic biopsy for recurrent high-grade glioma.
