Brief Summary: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of recombinant interferon alfa-2b when given together with azacitidine in treating patients with stage III or stage IV melanoma or stage IV kidney cancer that cannot be removed by surgery Drugs used in chemotherapy such as azacitidine work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing Recombinant interferon alfa-2b may interfere with the growth of tumor cells Giving azacitidine together with recombinant interferon alfa-2b may kill more tumor cells
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

I Determine the adverse event profile and maximum tolerated dose of interferon alfa-2b when combined with azacitidine in patients with unresectable stage III or IV melanoma or unresectable stage IV renal cell carcinoma

II Determine the feasibility of this regimen for future phase II trials

OUTLINE This is a dose-escalation multicenter study

Patients receive azacitidine subcutaneously SC once daily on days 1-4 and 15-17 and recombinant interferon alfa-2b SC on days 8 10 12 15 17 19 22 24 and 26 during course 1 Beginning in course 2 and for all subsequent courses patients receive azacitidine SC once daily on days 1-3 and 15-17 and interferon alfa-2b SC on days 1 3 5 8 10 12 15 17 19 22 24 and 26 Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 total courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of interferon alfa-2b until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity After completion of study treatment patients are followed every 2-4 months
