Brief Title: SB-715992 in Treating Patients With Metastatic or Recurrent Malignant Melanoma
Official Title: A Phase II Study of SB-715992 (NSC 727990) in Previously Untreated Patients With Metastatic or Recurrent Malignant Melanoma
Study ID: NCT00095953
Brief Summary: RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as SB-715992, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well SB-715992 works in treating patients with metastatic or recurrent malignant melanoma.
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES: * Determine the efficacy of SB-715992, in terms of response rate, in patients with previously untreated metastatic or recurrent malignant melanoma. * Determine the toxic effects of this drug in these patients. * Determine the early progression rate and response duration in patients treated with this drug. * Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients. * Correlate pharmacokinetics with safety and efficacy endpoints of this drug in these patients. * Correlate β-tubulin and kinesin spindle protein expression in tumor tissue with clinical outcomes in patients treated with this drug. OUTLINE: This is a nonrandomized, multicenter study. Patients receive SB-715992 IV over 1 hour on day 1. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. All patients are followed at 4 weeks after completion of protocol therapy. Patients with ongoing complete response, partial response, or stable disease are followed every 3 months thereafter until relapse. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 15-25 patients will be accrued for this study within 12-14 months.
