Resumen
Fecha de inicio: 1 de julio de 2003
Fecha en la que se inscribió al primer participante.OBJECTIVES: Primary * Determine the antitumor activity of temozolomide, thalidomide, and lomustine, in terms of objective response rate, in patients with unresectable stage III or stage IV melanoma. Secondary * Determine the toxicity profile of this regimen in these patients. * Determine the duration of response and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen. OUTLINE: Patients receive oral temozolomide on days 1-42, oral thalidomide on days 1-56, and oral lomustine on days 1 and 29. Courses repeat every 8 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 2 years, and then annually thereafter. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 12-35 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years.
