Eligible patients will include those with melanoma involving the regional lymph nodes and surrounding tissues as well as those with unresectable cutaneous, subcutaneous, nodal or soft tissue metastases.
  • Patients must have one or more tumor nodules accessible for direct injection.
  • Patients with metastases outside the treatment field may be enrolled if the sites of metastases do not limit survival expectancy to less than 3 months.
  • Patients must be unlikely to derive significant potential benefit from other treatment options and no other treatments should be anticipated during the study treatment period or a period of two months thereafter.
  • Patient's Karnofsky performance status must be greater than or equal to 70%.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Chemotherapy or experimental medications within the last four weeks prior to Day
  • Active disease of the central nervous system.
  • Baseline liver enzymes (AST, ALT, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase) greater than 3 times the upper limit normal.
  • Renal insufficiency (Serum creatinine greater than 2.0 mg/dL).
  • Coagulopathy (PT INR \>1.5 or PTT ratio \>1.5 in patients not receiving anticoagulants).
  • Significant anemia (e.g. hematocrit \<28% or hemoglobin \<9 g/dL). May have RBC transfusion, or thrombocytopenia (platelet count less than 100,000/μl); or leukopenia (WBC \<3000/μl; ANC \<1500/μl).
  • Patients with documented history of deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolus, cerebrovascular disease, stroke, or TIA.
  • Patients with history of coagulopathy or known thrombophillic disorders.
  • Clinical evidence of active infection of any type, including hepatitis B or C virus.
  • Pregnant or lactating women. It is recommended that both men and women use condoms or another barrier method of birth control for at least 2 months following the last administration of TNFerade™ biologic and some form of birth control for at least 1 year.
