° Patients with unresectable tumors that are radiographically (and/or biochemically) consistent with a pituitary adenoma may be considered for enrollment without pathologic confirmation with approval from the principal investigator.
  • - Progression on imaging following radiotherapy.
° Patients with pituitary carcinomas in whom there is not felt to be a palliative benefit to treatment with radiotherapy are eligible for enrollment without prior radiotherapy.
  • - Measurable disease by RANO criteria.
  • - At least 4 weeks have elapsed since the patient last received temozolomide and the patient must have recovered hematologically from other chemotherapeutics.
  • - Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) greater than or equal to 70.
  • - Screening laboratory values must meet the following criteria: - WBC >/= 2000/uL.
  • - Neutrophils >/= 1500/uL.
  • - Platelets >/= 100 x 10^3/uL.
  • - Hemoglobin > 9.0 g/dL.

  • - Total Bilirubin /= 40 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault formula.
  • - Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must use appropriate method(s) or contraception.

  • - WOCBP is defined as any female who has experienced menarche and who has not undergone surgical sterilization (hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy) or who is not postmenopausal.
Menopause is defined clinically as 12 months of amenorrhea in a woman over 45 in the absence of other biological or physiological causes. Women who are not of childbearing potential are not required to use contraception.
  • - Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test upon study entry.
  • - Men who are sexually active with women of childbearing potential must use adequate contraception upon study entry until 31 weeks after the last dose of study treatment.
