简要总结

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Biological therapies, such as GM-CSF, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Giving paclitaxel together with GM-CSF may be effective in treating melanoma.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving paclitaxel together with GM-CSF works in treating patients with stage III or stage IV melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery.

详细描述

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Assess the activity of paclitaxel and sargramostim (GM-CSF), in terms of objective clinical response rate (complete response [CR] and partial response [PR]), in patients with advanced unresectable melanoma.

Secondary

  • Evaluate the duration of response, time to progression, and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine serum cytokine levels (GM-CSF, IFN-γ, aldesleukin, recombinant interleukin-4, and IL-10) in these patients.
