Brief Summary: RATIONALE Donepezil may decrease the side effects caused by radiation therapy to the brain

PURPOSE This clinical trial is studying how well donepezil works in treating young patients with primary brain tumors previously treated with radiation therapy to the brain
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Determine the impact of donepezil hydrochloride on cognitive function in pediatric patients with primary brain tumors previously treated with cranial radiotherapy

Secondary

Assess health-related quality of life of patients treated with this drug
Assess function and quality of life of the families of patients treated with this drug
Determine the physiologic effects of radiotherapy on cerebrovascular hemodynamics in patients treated with this drug
Determine the toxicity of donepezil hydrochloride in these patients

OUTLINE This is a multicenter pilot open-label controlled study

Patients receive oral donepezil hydrochloride once daily or once every other day for up to 24 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity After completion of 6 weeks of study therapy patients are evaluated for toxicity Patients experiencing no adverse effects from treatment may continue receiving donepezil hydrochloride at a higher dose for 18 more weeks

Patients undergo measurement of cognitive function by neurocognitive testing behavioral adjustment and social competency by parent-reported questionnaires health-related quality of life by child- and parent-reported questionnaires and vascular dynamics by transcranial Doppler ultrasound at baseline and at weeks 12 24 and 36 Family function and family quality of life are assessed at baseline and at week 24

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 35 patients will be accrued for this study
