Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of giving adjuvant treatment with intermediate doses of interferon-alpha2b to patients operated for high risk melanoma. Patients are randomly assigned to either observation only or interferon treatment for 2 different durations. The outcome with respect to overall survival, relapse-free survival, side effects and quality of life is analysed.


Clinical Trial Description

This is an open multicenter, prospective randomised phase III trial evaluating the efficacy of two different schedules of Interferon-alpha2b (IFN-alpha2b) administered in an adjuvant setting after adequate surgery in high risk cutaneous melanoma patients (T4N0M0/TxN1-2M0). The patients have been operated for either a thick primary melanoma (> 4 mm) without evidence of distant metastasis or have undergone surgery for regional lymph node metastases.

The study consists of a control arm (A) and two treatment arms, B and C. The outcome in arms B and C with adjuvant treatment with IFN-alpha2b will be compared to the outcome of arm A in which the patients will only be observed after the surgery. The primary endpoint is overall survival. Secondary endpoints are relapse-free survival, safety-toxicity and health-related quality of life. ;
