Summary

To determine the efficacy of Pulse Reduced Dose Rate (PRDR) radiation when given in 27 fraction over 5.5 weeks with concurrent bevacizumab followed by adjuvant bevacizumab until time of progression in patients with recurrent high grade gliomas (grade III and grade IV). Patients will be placed in 1 of 4 groups based on their histologic diagnosis and prior exposure to bevacizumab.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Bevacizumab

10mg/kg every 2weeks.

RADIATION

PRDR

Daily dose of 2.0gy delivered in .2gy pulses for a total of 54gy over 5.5 weeks and 27 fractions. In the rare instance of the presence of extensive disease requiring essentially whole brain radiation, a total daily dose of 1.8 Gy delivered in .2 Gy pulses for 23 fractions to a total dose of 41.4 Gy will be utilized.
