Study subjects receive a single daily radiation fraction of 180cGy, 5 days a week for 6 weeks overall, to a total radiation dose of 5400cGy.

Antineoplaston therapy (Atengenal + Astugenal) by IV infusion every four hours for 104 weeks. Study subjects receive increasing dosages of Atengenal and Astugenal until the maximum tolerated dose is reached. Study subjects also receive a single daily radiation fraction of 180cGy, 5 days a week for 6 weeks overall, to a total radiation dose of 5400cGy.

Subjects ≥ 3 years of age with a diffuse, intrinsic brain stem glioma will receive radiation.

Patients ≥ 3 years of age with newly-diagnosed, diffuse, intrinsic pontine glioma will be enrolled in this study. However, the primary objectives of this study are to 1) compare overall survival, the time from randomization to death from any cause, for study subjects 3-21 years of age with newly-diagnosed, diffuse, intrinsic pontine glioma who receive Antineoplaston therapy (Atengenal + Astugenal) + radiation therapy vs. radiation therapy alone and 2) describe the toxicity profile (all subjects) for Antineoplaston therapy + radiation therapy vs. radiation therapy alone.

A secondary objective is to compare progression-free survival for study subjects 3-21 years of age with newly-diagnosed, diffuse, intrinsic pontine glioma treated with Antineoplaston therapy + radiation therapy vs. radiation therapy alone.

This is a randomized Phase 3 protocol study of Antineoplaston therapy + radiation therapy vs. radiation therapy alone in subjects ≥ 3 years of age with newly-diagnosed, diffuse, intrinsic pontine glioma. In those subjects randomized to Antineoplaston therapy + radiation therapy, Antineoplaston therapy is administered for 104 weeks while radiation therapy commences on day one of Antineoplaston therapy and continues for 6 weeks. Subjects continue on Antineoplaston therapy if an objective response or stable disease is achieved during therapy and are maintained on Antineoplaston therapy to the end of the protocol study unless they develop progressive disease. Subjects randomized to radiation therapy alone receive 6 weeks of radiation therapy.

Exploratory objectives are to compare the following in the two treatment arms: 1) overall survival for study subjects ≥ 21 years of age; 2) progression-free survival for subjects ≥ 21 years of age; 3) objective response, complete response, partial response, and progressive disease rates, based on the enhancing portion of the tumor, for all subjects, using bidimentional measurement of tumor; 4) objective response, complete response, partial response, and progressive disease rates, for all subjects with non-enhancing tumors, using unidimentional measurement of tumor; and 5) objective response, complete response, partial response, and progressive disease rates, based on the enhancing + non-enhancing portions of the tumor, for all subjects, using unidimentional measurement of tumor.

Study of Antineoplaston Therapy + Radiation vs. Radiation Only in Diffuse, Intrinsic, Brainstem Glioma

A Randomized Phase 3 Study of Combination Antineoplaston Therapy [Antineoplastons A10 (Atengenal) and AS2-1 (Astugenal)] Plus Radiation Therapy vs. Radiation Therapy Only in Subjects With Newly Diagnosed Diffuse, Intrinsic, Brainstem Glioma

The Kaplan-Meier nonparametric method is used to evaluate overall survival in the two therapy groups. Survival difference is evaluated using a log-rank test, which compares the two therapy groups. A Cox proportional hazards model is used as a supportive analysis to assess the magnitude of difference between the two therapy groups. The median survival rate in the two therapy groups (and 95% confidence intervals) is evaluated. Hazard ratio and its 95% confidence interval are estimated.

Symptoms and General Pathology

Recurrence

Antineoplaston therapy (Atengenal + Astugenal) by IV infusion every four hours for at least 12 months. Study subjects receive increasing dosages of Atengenal and Astugenal until the maximum tolerated dose is reached.

Adults with a recurrent or refractory mixed glioma will receive Antineoplaston therapy (Atengenal + Astugenal).

RATIONALE: Current therapies for adults with recurrent or refractory mixed gliomas provide very limited benefit to the patient. The anti-cancer properties of Antineoplaston therapy suggest that it may prove beneficial in the treatment of adults with recurrent or refractory mixed gliomas.

PURPOSE: This study is being performed to determine the effects (good and bad) that Antineoplaston therapy has on adults with recurrent or refractory mixed gliomas.

OBJECTIVES:

* To determine the efficacy of Antineoplaston therapy in adults with recurrent or refractory mixed gliomas as measured by an objective response to therapy (complete response, partial response or stable disease).
* To determine the safety and tolerance of Antineoplaston therapy in adults with recurrent or refractory mixed gliomas.

OVERVIEW: This is a single arm, open-label study in which adults with recurrent or refractory mixed gliomas receive gradually escalating doses of intravenous Antineoplaston therapy (Atengenal + Astugenal) until the maximum tolerated dose is reached. Treatment continues for at least 12 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After 12 months, patients with a complete or partial response or with stable disease may continue treatment.

To determine objective response, tumor size is measured utilizing MRI scans, which are performed every 8 weeks for the first two years, every 3 months for the third and fourth years, every 6 months for the 5th and sixth years, and annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20-40 patients will be accrued to this study
