Patients get the study drug Oncovir poly IC:LC with or without CP 870-893. Up to 6 groups of 3 to 10 patients each will be treated in this study. The first group (between 3 and 6 patients) gets peptide vaccine with poly IC:LC. Second, third and fourth groups of 3 to 6 patients receive peptide vaccine with poly IC:LC and the antibody CP 870,893 at increasing doses from 0.01, 0.025 and 0.05 mg/kg. CP 870-893 will be given to 10 patients at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg to patients in the fifth group, and 0.2 mg/kg to the sixth group. The CP 870,893 will be given as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes and will be given once every 2 weeks for the first 6 infusions. CP-870-893 will then be given every 4 to 6 weeks for 3 injections. The final 3 injections of CP 870,893 will be given every 8 to 12 weeks. These infusions will take place on weeks 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 17, 21, 25, 33, 41, and 53 for a total of 12 infusions.

Study drug will be administered open-label as an intravenous solution, followed by observation. Study drug will be supplied as a liquid intravenous solution in vials containing 10 mg/mL of CP870,893. CP 870,893 will be administered at a dosage of 0.01, 0.025 or 0.05 mg/kg at 0.24 mg/mL infused via a syringe pump over 15 minutes, or at 0.1 or 0.2 mg/kg/dose as an i.v. infusion in saline at a concentration of 0.24 mg/mL in an IV bag of up to 100 mL over 30 minutes (controlled by a volumetric pump) for not more than 30 minutes, with a 10 cc flush at the end that should be administered at the same rate as the CP 879,893 infusion.

CP 870,893

NY-ESO-l 157-165 (165V) and gpl002 80-288 (288V) peptides each at a dose of 0.5 mg will be emulsified with Montanide ISA 51 VG and administered to all patients in the study at Weeks 1,3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 17, 21, 25 33, 41, and 53. Peptides will be administered as a total of 6 deep subcutaneous (s.c.) injections into alternating lower extremities one hour after CP 870,893 infusions.

Peptides

The dosage of poly IC:LC chosen for the current trials has been used safely in over one hundred patients with central nervous system (CNS) malignancies enrolled in nitrates and bone turnover (NABT) trials. The injection of 1000 mcg will be made deeply subcutaneously into the same limb as the peptides/Montanide ISA 51 VG, at least 5 cm. proximal to the peptides vaccination site. Poly IC:LC will be administered to all patients in the study at Weeks 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 17, 21, 25 33, 41, and 53 one hour after CP 870,893 infusion.

The purpose of this study is to determine what side effects CP 870,893 may cause when given with an immune stimulant called Oncovir poly IC:LC along with a melanoma vaccine. The CP 870,893, the Oncovir poly IC:LC and the melanoma vaccine are investigational drugs that have not been combined in patients before, and that have not been approved for sale by the Food and Drug Administration. The Oncovir poly IC:LC is intended to stimulate the body's immune system.

Antibodies such as CP 870,893 are chemicals made by immune cells naturally found in the human body. CP 870,893 was produced in cells grown from a hamster but is fully human in composition. The vaccine contains peptides (pieces) from two different proteins called NY-ESO-1 and gp100. Each one is made by 50-100% of melanomas. These proteins can be recognized by the immune system. They will be injected under the skin of the participant's thigh in combination with, or without an oil-based substance, called "Montanide ISA 51 VG". The Montanide ISA 51 VG is an adjuvant or "assistant" which stimulates the body's immune system. The peptides in the vaccine, the Montanide ISA 51 VG, the Oncovir poly IC:LC and the CP 870,893 antibody are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but the FDA is permitting their use in this study. It is believed that the CP 870,893 and the Oncovir poly IC:LC will boost the body's immune response against the melanoma vaccine, although this vaccine has not been proven to help the patient's melanoma.

Phase I Oncovir Poly IC:LC and NY-ESO-1/gp100

A Phase I Study of Poly IC:LC and NY-ESO-1/gp100 Peptides Either Emulsified With Montanide ISA 51 or in Aqueous Solution With Escalating Doses of CP 870,893 in the Treatment of Subjects With Resected Stage III or Stage IV Melanoma

The overall goal is to define a safe and potentially effective dose and schedule of CP 870,893 with Oncovir poly IC:LC with a peptide vaccine with either Montanide ISA 51 VG or in aqueous solution for the adjuvant setting in high risk melanoma.

To assess immune responses to the study regimens.

Relapse free survival will be summarized in a standard exploratory fashion via descriptive summary statistics by dose.
