Patients have unilateral single focus of tumor in cerebrum
Patients have the 1st time recurrence of glioma
Patients undergone standard therapy for their prior glioma episode; for patientswith anaplastic astrocytoma, the prior standard therapy should include surgicalresection, radiation and adjuvant temozolomide (or PCV [procarzine, lomustine andvincristine]; for patients with glioblastoma multiforme the prior standard therapyshould include surgical resection, radiation and adjuvant temozolomide

Patient with no or mild organ impairment
Patients who are eligible and able to participate in the study and accept to enterthe study by signing written informed consent forms

All male patients and female patients with child-bearing potential (between pubertyand 2 years after menopause) should use appropriate contraception method(s) for atleast 4 weeks after Cerebraca wafer treatment and TMZ treatment (whichever islonger) shown below.
Total abstinence (when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyleof the subject. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal,post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods ofcontraception).

Male sterilization (at least 6 months prior to screening). For female subjectson the study, the vasectomized male partner should be the sole partner for thatsubject
Combination of any two of the following (a+b or a+c, or b+c):
- Use of oral, injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception orother forms of hormonal contraception that have comparable efficacy (failure rate <1%), for example hormone vaginal ring or transdermalhormone contraception.
- Placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS).
- Barrier methods of contraception: Condom or Occlusive cap (diaphragm orcervical/vault caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/vaginalsuppository.
