Recurrent Melanoma Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Phase II Study of CCI-779 in Combination With Bevacizumab in Stage III or IV Melanoma
This phase II trial is studying how well giving temsirolimus together with bevacizumab works in treating patients with stage III or stage IV malignant melanoma. Temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for their growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of malignant melanoma by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving temsirolimus together with bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells.

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Objective tumor response (complete response and partial response) and progression in participants with stage III or IV melanoma following treatment with temsirolimus and bevacizumab | Evaluated using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumor (RECIST) criteria. | Day 11 of courses 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 | No |
Secondary | Adverse events in participants with stage III or IV melanoma treated with temsirolimus and bevacizumab | Defined as any unfavorable and unintended diagnosis, symptom, sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), syndrome, or disease which either occurs during the study (having been absent at baseline) or if present at baseline, appears to worsen. Graded using scales found in the revised National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0. Tabulated by type and severity. | Days 1 and 8 of each course | Yes |
Secondary | Association between expression or activation of one biomarker with another, with biochemical and clinical responses, with alterations in cell proliferation and apoptotic markers, and with time to progression | Biomarker expression in tumor and normal skin will be assessed by IHC or Western blotting, using marker-specific antibodies. | Day 1 of course 1 and day 8 of course 2 | No |
