Brief Summary: RATIONALE Vaccines made from an antigen combined with a modified virus may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells Interleukin-2 may stimulate a persons white blood cells to kill melanoma cells Combining vaccine therapy with interleukin-2 may kill more tumor cells

PURPOSE Phase I trial to compare the effectiveness of vaccine therapy with or without interleukin-2 in treating patients who have recurrent metastatic melanoma that has not responded to previous therapy
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Evaluate the toxicity immunologic reactivity and possible therapeutic efficacy of immunization with recombinant fowlpox virus encoding the gp100 melanoma antigen administered alone or with interleukin-2 in patients with metastatic melanoma

OUTLINE This is a dose-escalation study Patients receive recombinant fowlpox virus encoding the gp100 melanoma antigen FPV-gp100 IV or intramuscularly to rotating sites or fowlpox virus encoding modified gp100 melanoma antigen IV every 2 weeks for 4 vaccinations Treatment continues for a maximum of 2 courses in the absence of disease progression Cohorts of 3-9 patients receive escalating doses of FPV-gp100 until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients develop dose-limiting toxicity Patients in 3 of 5 cohorts also receive interleukin-2 IL-2 within 12 hours of FPV-gp100 One cohort receives IL-2 subcutaneously daily on days 1-5 and days 8-12 A second cohort receives low-dose IL-2 IV over 15 minutes every 8 hours on days 2-8 A third cohort receives high-dose IL-2 IV over 15 minutes every 8 hours on days 2-6 Patients in cohorts 4 and 5 receive FPV-gp100 alone and if no response is observed after 2 courses may receive 2 courses of IL-2 alone every 8 hours for 5 days approximately 2 weeks apart A separate cohort of 3-9 patients receives modified FPV-gp100 If no response is observed after 2 courses IL-2 may be administered as in cohorts 4 and 5 Patients are followed at 28 days after the second immunization with FPV-gp100

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A maximum of 91 patients will be accrued for this study
