Brief Summary: RATIONALE Boron neutron capture therapy may selectively kill tumor cells without harming normal tissue

PURPOSE This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of boron neutron capture therapy following surgery in treating patients with glioblastoma multiforme removed during surgery
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine systemic and local toxicity of borocaptate sodium with boron neutron capture therapy BNCT following craniotomy with gross total resection in patients with glioblastoma multiforme
Determine the qualitative and quantitative dose-limiting toxicity and maximum tolerated dose of this regimen in these patients
Determine the maximum tolerated radiation dose of BNCT in cranial localization to healthy tissues in these patients under defined conditions

OUTLINE This is a dose escalation multicenter study

Within 6 weeks of surgery patients receive borocaptate sodium followed 12-18 hours later by neutron irradiation Treatment repeats daily for 4 days

Cohorts of 3-9 patients receive escalating doses of neutron irradiation The maximum tolerated dose is defined as the dose preceding that at which 3 or more patients experience dose limiting toxicity

Patients are followed weekly for 4 weeks monthly for 2 months every 6 weeks for 15 months and then every 3 months thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL Approximately 30-36 patients will be accrued for this study
