Brief Title: IL-2 "SELECT" Tissue Collection Protocol in Patients With Advanced Melanoma
Official Title: The High-Dose Aldesleukin (IL-2) "SELECT" Trial: A Prospective Tissue Collection Protocol to Investigate Predictive Models of Response to High-Dose IL-2 Treatments in Patients With Advance Melanoma
Study ID: NCT01288963
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine which participants with melanoma have a better response to IL-2 and to identify markers that may predict response to IL-2 by collecting participant information (for example; cancer diagnosis and history, prior treatments for cancer, etc.) blood and tumor samples prior to treatment and tumor measurements after treatment.
Detailed Description: Original tumor slides will be collected to identify tumor markers that may predict responses to treatment. Blood samples will be obtained prior to treatment with IL-2.
