Study Overview

Brief Summary

This phase II portion of the trial is studying the side effects and best dose of temsirolimus when given together with sorafenib and to see how well they work in treating patients with metastatic, recurrent, or unresectable melanoma. Sorafenib and temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Sorafenib may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving sorafenib together with temsirolimus may kill more tumor cells.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  • To evaluate the clinical activity, in terms of overall response rate (complete and partial response), of this regimen in these patients. (Phase II)
  • To evaluate the in vivo biological activity of this regimen in these patients.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the progression-free survival and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.

II. To determine the safety and toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

  • At least 4 weeks since prior radiotherapy and recovered.
  • Prior biologic or immunotherapeutic regimens allowed.
  • Prior regional chemotherapy regimens (e.g., isolated limb perfusion) allowed but only 1 prior regional chemotherapy regimen allowed if all target lesions are within the prior regional treatment field.
  • No concurrent enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs including, but not limited to, any of the following: phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, rifampin or Hypericum perforatum (St. John's wort).
