- Patients must have a body surface area (BSA) >= 0.4 m^2 at the time of study
enrollment

- Patients must have a pilocytic astrocytoma or optic pathway glioma that has relapsed,
progressed, or become refractory to conventional therapy; patients with
neurofibromatosis (NF-1) are eligible

- Patients must have histologic verification of malignancy; histologic confirmation for
patients with optic pathway gliomas will not be required

- Patients must have measurable residual disease, defined as tumor that is measurable in
two perpendicular diameters on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); for a lesion to be
considered measurable, it must be at least twice the slice thickness on MRI (i.e.
visible on more than one slice)

- To document the degree of residual tumor, the following must be obtained:

must be performed after at least 1 week at a stable or decreasing dose of
steroids

Summary
Brief summary
This randomized phase II trial studies how well low-dose lenalidomide works compared with
high-dose lenalidomide in treating younger patients with juvenile pilocytic astrocytomas or
optic nerve pathway gliomas that have come back (recurrent), have not responded to treatment
(refractory), or are growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive). Lenalidomide is
classified as an immunomodulatory drug as it boosts the immune system. It has other potential
anti-tumor effects, for example, it may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow
to the tumor. It is not yet known whether low-dose lenalidomide is more or less effective
than high-dose lenalidomide in treating patients with juvenile pilocytic astrocytomas or
optic nerve pathway gliomas.
