简要总结
This phase II trial is studying how well oblimersen works in treating patients with Merkel cell cancer. Biological therapies, such as oblimersen, may interfere with the growth of tumor cells and slow the growth of Merkel cell carcinoma (skin cancer).
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the overall response rate in patients with Merkel cell carcinoma treated with oblimersen.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the time to progression in patients treated with this drug. II. Determine the response duration in patients treated with this drug. III. Determine the safety and tolerability of this drug in these patients. IV. Determine the pharmacodynamic effects of this drug on bcl-2 expression and apoptosis in tumor biopsy specimens from these patients.
OUTLINE: This is an open-label, multicenter study.
