Phase:

PHASE1

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Cilengitide may stop the growth of brain metastases by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Radiation therapy uses high energy X-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving cilengitide together with radi...

  • PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:
  • See Disease Characteristics
  • Concurrent corticosteroids allowed if the dosing regimen has ben stable ≥ 5 days
  • Concurrent anticonvulsants allowed if the dosing regimen has been stable for the past week
  • More than 30 days since prior participation in another clinical trial
  • No concurrent anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists, therapeutic-dose anticoagulation with heparin resulting in prolonged PTT, or therapeutic-dose anticoagulation with low molecular weight heparin (low-dose \[i.e. prophylactic\], low molecular weight heparins allowed)
  • No prior whole-brain radiation or radiosurgery
