Summary

This trial is testing a new radiation treatment for recurrent brain tumors, given over 5.5 weeks with a drug called bevacizumab. Patients will be followed for progression after treatment.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 18 with high-grade gliomas (Grade III or IV brain tumors) that have come back. They must not have used bevacizumab before, should be months past their initial radiation therapy and temozolomide treatment, and in a stable health condition as indicated by blood tests.

What is being tested?

The study is testing Pulse Reduced Dose Rate (PRDR) radiation given over 5.5 weeks with the drug bevacizumab, followed by more bevacizumab after radiation ends. Participants are divided into groups based on their tumor type and previous treatments.

What are the potential side effects?

Bevacizumab can cause headaches, high blood pressure, bleeding or nosebleeds, tiredness, wound healing problems, and could increase the risk of developing holes in your stomach or intestines.
