Study of the Combination of Lenalidomide and DTIC (Dacarbazine) in Patients With Metastatic Malignant Melanoma Previously Untreated With Systemic Chemotherapy

Phase 1

Completed

• Conditions: Malignant Melanoma

• Registration Number: NCT00179608
• Lead Sponsor: Celgene

Brief Summary

This study will determine the MDT of intravenous DTIC when administered in combination with a fixed dose of oral lenalidomide in subjects with metastatic malignant melanoma previously untreated with systemic chemotherapy. This study will evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of the combination of lenalidomide and DTIC. Subjects will be receive lenalidomide for 14 consecutive days and DTIC on day one of each 21 day cycle.

4. Histological documentation of malignant melanoma with evidence of metastatic disease

5. For the 10 patients enrolled at the MTD, at least one measurable lesion must be present (see Appendix II)

6. ECOG performance status of 0, 1 or 2 (see Appendix I)

7. Laboratory tests within these ranges:

   5. AST (SGOT) / ALT (SGPT) less than or equal to to 2 times upper limit of normal (ULN)

8. Women of childbearing potential (WCBP) must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 7 days of starting study drug.

   In addition, sexually active WCBP must agree to use at least two methods of adequate contraceptive (oral, injectable, or implantable hormonal contraceptive, tubal ligation, intra-uterine device, barrier contraceptive with spermicide, contraceptive skin patch or vasectomized partner) while on study drug

3. Prior treatment with systemic chemotherapy. Patients who have received prior immunotherapy, including thalidomide, or radiotherapy remain eligible.

   Lesions within a prior field of radiation may only be used as indicator lesions if there has been evidence of disease progression at that site.

4. Prior history of malignancies (except for basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix or breast) unless the patient has been free of the disease for at least 3 years.

5. Use of thalidomide or biologic response modifier therapy within 14 days of Day 1, Cycle 1

6. Prior greater than or equal to grade 2 allergic reaction to thalidomide

7. Prior desquamating rash while taking thalidomide

8. Any prior use of lenalidomide

9. Concurrent use of any other anti-cancer agents

10. Radiation or surgical treatment of melanoma within 28 days of starting study treatment

12. Central nervous system (CNS) metastases

13. Patients with > grade-2 neuropathy

14. Patients with known HIV positivity or AIDS-related illness
