Brief Summary

This phase II trial is studying how well giving bortezomib together with paclitaxel and carboplatin works in treating patients with metastatic melanoma. Bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Bortezomib may help paclitaxel and carboplatin kill more tumor cells by making tumor cells more sensitive to these drugs

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. Determine the confirmed tumor response rate and adverse event profile of bortezomib, carboplatin, and paclitaxel as first-line therapy for patients with metastatic melanoma.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

I. Evaluate time to tumor progression, overall survival, and duration of response.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive bortezomib intravenously (IV) over 3-5 seconds on days 1, 4, and 8 and paclitaxel IV over 3 hours and carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 2. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for up to 3 years.

Treatment (bortezomib, paclitaxel, carboplatin)bortezomibPatients will receive an infusion of bortezomib twice in week 1 and once in week 2. They will also receive a 3-hour infusion of paclitaxel and an infusion of carboplatin once in week 1. Treatment may repeat every 3 weeks for as long as benefit is shown.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Confirmed tumor response rate defined as the total number of evaluable patients whose objective tumor status is either a complete or partial response according to the RECIST criteriaAssessed up to 3 years

If at most 3 of the first 19 eligible patients enrolled achieved a partial or complete response by the RECIST criteria, then enrollment would be terminated and the regimen would be considered inactive in this patient population. A 90% confidence interval will be constructed using the Duffy-Santer approach.

Adverse event profile as measured by NCI-CAE version 3.0Assessed up to 3 years

The maximum grade for each type of toxicity will be recorded for each patient at each evaluation. The frequency and severity of each type of toxicity will be determined overall and by course.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to disease progressionFrom registration to documentation of disease progression, assessed up to 3 years

Estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Duration of responseFrom the date at which the patient's objective status is first noted to be either a CR or PR to the date progression is documented, assessed up to 3 years

Estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Survival timeFrom registration to death due to any cause, assessed up to 3 years

Estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
