Official Title: Drug Distribution and Pharmacodynamic Study of Pulsatile Lapatinib in Surgically Accessible EGFR-Amplified Recurrent High-Grade Glioma

Brief Summary: This pilot clinical trial studies how well lapatinib ditosylate before surgery works in treating patients with high-grade glioma that has come back after a period of time during which the tumor could not be detected. Lapatinib ditosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
