Brief Summary: RATIONALE Radiation therapy such as boron neutron capture therapy may kill tumor cells without harming normal tissue

PURPOSE Phase III trial to study the effectiveness of boron neutron capture therapy in treating patients who have glioblastoma multiforme or melanoma metastatic to the brain
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the time course uniformity and severity of acute and chronic normal tissue reactions in patients with glioblastoma multiforme or intracranial melanoma treated with boronophenylalanine-fructose complex BPA-f followed by cranial neutron irradiation using a new fission converter beam facility
Determine the maximum tolerated dose of cranial neutron capture therapy in these patients
Determine through serial objective measurements the clinical response in patients treated with this therapy
Determine the pharmacokinetics of BPA-f in these patients

OUTLINE This is a dose-escalation study of cranial neutron capture therapy NCT

Patients receive boronophenylalanine-fructose complex IV over 90 minutes followed by cranial NCT on days 1 and 2

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of NCT until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which at least 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity Once the MTD is determined additional patients are treated at the MTD

Patients are followed at 1 2 4 6 9 and 12 months and then every 6 months for 2 years

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 16 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years
