Brief Summary: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of interleukin-12 and interferon alfa in treating patients with metastatic kidney cancer or malignant melanoma Interleukin-12 may kill tumor cells by stopping blood flow to the tumor and by stimulating a persons white blood cells to kill cancer cells Interferon alfa may interfere with the growth of cancer cells Combining interleukin-12 and interferon alfa may kill more cancer cells
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

I Determine the toxicity of interleukin-12 and interferon alfa in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma or malignant melanoma

II Determine the maximum tolerated dose of these drugs when concurrently administered in this patient population

III Obtain preliminary data on the antitumor efficacy of this combination in these patients

OUTLINE This is a dose-escalation study followed by a randomized study

Patients receive interleukin-12 subcutaneously SC twice a week and interferon alfa SC three times a week every week for 4 weeks Treatment continues in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of interleukin-12 and interferon alfa until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose limiting toxicities

Once the MTD is established additional patients are accrued and randomized to 1 of the following treatment arms

ARM I Patients receive interleukin-12 SC twice a week for 2 weeks followed by treatment with interleukin-12 in combination with interferon alfa as described above

ARM II Patients receive interferon alfa SC three times a week for 2 weeks followed by treatment with interleukin-12 in combination with interferon alfa as described above

ARM III Patients receive treatment with interleukin-12 in combination with interferon alfa at the MTD as described above

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 20-30 patients will be accrued for the dose escalation portion of this study An additional 18 patients 5 in arm I 5 in arm II and 8 in arm III will be accrued to the randomized portion of this study
