Overview
Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation works in treating patients with metastatic melanoma of the eye that cannot be removed by surgery.
Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES: Primary * To evaluate the overall response rate of patients with unresectable, metastatic uveal melanoma treated with paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation. Secondary * To determine the median progression-free survival of patients treated with this regimen. * To determine the overall survival of patients treated with this regimen. OUTLINE: Patients receive paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study therapy, patients are followed every 8 weeks for 1 year.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Histologically or cytologically confirmed evidence of metastatic/ unresectable uveal melanoma
- •Measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension and is ≥10 mm by spiral CT scan
- •18 years or older
- •Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group(ECOG)performance status 0, or 1
- •No known HIV or Hepatitis B or C
- •Patients with brain metastasis are eligible for entry into the study
- •Patients must have normal organ/marrow function as defined below:
- •Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 x 109/L
- •Platelets ≥ 100,000 x 109/L
- •Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 gm/100 ml
Exclusion Criteria
- •Chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 4 weeks prior to entering the study or failure to recover from adverse events due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier.
- •May not be receiving any other simultaneous investigational agents
- •No prior malignancy except for adequately treated basal cell cancer, in situ cervical cancer or other cancer for which the patient has been disease free for 2 years.
- •Patients who have serious infections or other major uncontrolled medical illnesses.
- •Patients who have significant psychiatric illness who in the opinion of the principal investigator would prevent adequate informed consent or render therapy unsafe.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Overall Response Rate
Time Frame: up to 1 year following last treatment, for a total of approximately 5 years
Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.
Secondary Outcomes
- Progression-free Survival(up to 1 year following last treatment, for a total of approximately 5 years)
- Overall Survival(up to 1 year following last treatment, for a total of approximately 5 years)
