The National Cancer Institute of Canada Clinical Trials Group conducted a phase II trial of trimetrexate given in a daily x 5 intravenous bolus schedule every 3 weeks in patients with measurable recurrent anaplastic glioma and limited prior treatment. There were no responses in 14 evaluable patients. We conclude that trimetrexate, given as described, is not an active agent in this disease.

D005910 Glioma Benign and malignant central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells (i.e., astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymocytes). Astrocytes may give rise to astrocytomas (ASTROCYTOMA) or glioblastoma multiforme (see GLIOBLASTOMA). Oligodendrocytes give rise to oligodendrogliomas (OLIGODENDROGLIOMA) and ependymocytes may undergo transformation to become EPENDYMOMA; CHOROID PLEXUS NEOPLASMS; or colloid cysts of the third ventricle.
