Patients methods: Twenty-four patients a median age 10.5 years were enrolled onto this open-label, multicenter, phase II study. previously treated surgical resection (17 24), radiotherapy (19 24) chemotherapy (18 24). Therapy orally times day at dose 200 mg/m 2 /d5 naive patients. In heavily pretreated starting 150 /d5. Results: A total 95 cycles administered. progression free-survival (PFS) 3 months entire group while disease stabilization obtained 7 (29.1%), all supratentorial tumors. No CR PR observed. TMZ treatment showed limited toxicity. Thrombocytopenia most common hematological adverse effect.Our data suggest marginal activity
