From the Department of General Neurology, Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research (W. Wick, J.P. Steinbach, J. Dichgans, and M. Weller), and Departments of Neuroradiology (W.M. Küker) and Radiation Oncology (M. Bamberg), University of Tübingen Medical School, Germany.

Twenty-one patients with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma were enrolled in a prospective phase II trial to determine the safety and efficacy of a 1-week on/1-week off regimen of temozolomide administered at 150 mg/m2 on days 1 to 7 and days 15 to 21 of 28-day treatment cycles. Two patients achieved a partial response (10%), and 17 patients (81%) had stable disease. The median progression-free survival was 5 months. The progression-free survival at 6 months was 48%.
