This phase I clinical trial conducted with patients who had recurrent or progressive malignant glioma (MG) was designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and toxicity of three different 5-day dosing regimens of temozolomide (TMZ) in combination with O(6)-benzylguanine (O(6)-BG). Both TMZ and O(6)-BG were administered on days 1-5 of a 28-day treatment cycle. A bolus infusion of O(6)-BG was administered at 120 mg/m(2) over 1 h on days 1, 3, and 5, along with a continuous infusion of O(6)-BG at 30 mg/m(2)/day. TMZ was administered at the end of the first bolus infusion of O(6)-BG and then every 24 h for 5 days during the continuous infusion of O(6)-BG. Patients were accrued to one of three 5-day dosing regimens of TMZ. Twenty-nine patients were enrolled into this study. The dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were grade 4 neutropenia, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia. The MTD for TMZ for the three different 5-day dosing schedules was determined as follows: schedule 1, 200 mg/m(2) on day 1 and 50 mg/m(2)/day on days 2-5; schedule 2, 50 mg/m(2)/day on days 1-5; and schedule 3, 50 mg/m(2)/day on days 1-5 while receiving pegfilgrastim. Thus, the 5-day TMZ dosing schedule that maximized the total dose of TMZ when combined with O(6)-BG was schedule 1. This study provides the foundation for a phase II trial of O(6)-BG in combination with a 5-day dosing schedule of TMZ in TMZ-resistant MG.
