  Purpose

This open-label study will evaluate the progression-free survival, safety and pharmacokinetics of capecitabine [Xeloda] rapidly disintegrating tablets and concomitant radiation therapy in children and adolescent patients with newly diagnosed brainstem glioma. Xeloda will be administered 650 mg/m2 orally twice daily during radiation phase (courses 1-3) followed by a two-weeks break and Xeloda will be administered 1250 mg/m2 during post radiation (courses 4-6). During each course, Xeloda will be administered for 14 consecutive days followed by a 7-days rest period. Dose can be adjusted according to toxicity and body surface area. The anticipated time on study drug is 18 weeks.

Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: capecitabine Drug: capecitabine [Xeloda]
capecitabine [Xeloda] 650 mg/m2 orally twice daily on weeks 1-9 (courses 1-3) during radiation phase and 1250 mg/m2 orally twice daily weeks 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 19 (courses 4-6) during post radiation phase. During each course capecitabine will be administered for 14 consecutive days followed by a 7-days rest period.
