Official Title: Phase I/II Clinical Trial of the Safety, Tolerability, and Anti-tumor Efficacy of the IGF-1R Inhibitor, AXL1717 (Picropodophyllin), in the Treatment of Recurrent Malignant Astrocytomas

Brief Summary: This is a single-center, open-label, non-randomized, Phase I/IIa study to investigate the safety, tolerability, and antitumor efficacy of AXL1717 (picropodophyllin as active agent formulated in an oral suspension; PPP) in patients with recurrent malignant astrocytomas (glioblastoma, gliosarcoma, anaplastic astrocytoma, anaplastic oligodendroglioma, anaplastic oligoastrocytoma, and anaplastic ependymoma). Patients will be treated for up to 5 cycles. A treatment cycle is defined as 28 days+7 days rest (28+7 days during cycle 1 to 4, and 28 days during cycle 5). The following cycle will not be started until the treatment continuation criteria are fulfilled. Concomitant supportive therapies will be allowed.
