Participants must have bi-dimensionally measurable disease, defined as at least 1 lesion that can be measured in ≥ 2 dimensions
  • Age: 21 years of age or less
  • Performance status: Karnofsky 60-100% (for patients \> 16 years of age) or Lansky 60-100% (for patients ≤ 16 years of age)
  • Life expectancy: Not specified
  • Hematopoietic: Must have adequate bone marrow function defined as absolute neutrophil count \> 1,500/mm\^3, platelet count \> 100,000/mm\^3 (unsupported), hemoglobin \> 8 g/dL (may be supported), and absolute lymphocyte count ≥ 500/mm\^3
  • Hepatic: Must have SGOT and SGPT ≤ 2.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN), bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times ULN, and no overt hepatic disease
  • Renal: Participants must have creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min or creatinine based on age as follows: no greater than 0.8 mg/dL (for patients ≤ 5 years of age), no greater than 1.0 mg/dL (for patients 6 to 10 years of age), no greater than 1.2 mg/dL (for patients 11 to 15 years of age), or no greater than 1.5 mg/dL (for patients \> 15 years of age). There must be no overt renal disease
  • Cardiovascular: Must have no overt cardiac disease
  • Pulmonary: Must have no overt pulmonary disease
  • Other: Female participants of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test prior to study registration, and must avoid breast-feeding. Female and male participants of childbearing or child-fathering potential must use effective contraception
  • Bone Marrow Transplant: Must be at least 6 months since prior allogeneic bone marrow transplantation and at least 3 months since prior autologous bone marrow or stem cell transplantation
  • Growth Factors: Must be at least 2 weeks since prior colony-stimulating factors (e.g., filgrastim \[G-CSF\], sargramostim \[GM-CSF\], or erythropoietin)
  • Prior Chemotherapy: Must have received last dose of myelosuppressive anticancer chemotherapy ≥ 3 weeks prior to study registration and ≥ 6 weeks for nitrosoureas. Must have received last dose of nonmyelosuppressive investigational agents or anticancer drugs ≥ 7 days prior to study registration. Participants who have received prior temozolomide are eligible
  • Concurrent Endocrine Therapy: Concurrent corticosteroid therapy is allowed
  • Prior Radiotherapy: Must have received last fraction of craniospinal irradiation and local irradiation to the primary tumor ≥ 12 weeks prior to study registration
  • Prior Therapy-Other: Must have recovered from all prior therapy
  • EXCLUSION CRITERIA
  • Must not have history of severe toxicity (≥ grade 3) associated with temozolomide
  • Must not be receiving other concurrent anticancer or investigational therapy
  • Must not have history of hypersensitivity to dacarbazine, temozolomide, or polyethylene glycol (PEG)
  • Must not have uncontrolled significant systemic illness including infection, or overt renal, hepatic, cardiac, or pulmonary disease
  • Must not be HIV positive
