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

PURPOSE This phase III trial is studying the side effects and how well giving vaccine therapy and interleukin-2 works compared to vaccine therapy alone in treating patients with metastatic melanoma that has not responded to previous therapy
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Evaluate the toxicity immunologic reactivity and possible therapeutic efficacy of immunization with dendritic cells presenting the MART-1 and gp100 melanoma antigens with or without interleukin-2 in patients with metastatic melanoma

OUTLINE This is a dose-escalation study of dendritic cells pulsed with MART-1 and gp100 antigens

Patients receive vaccinations with dendritic cells pulsed with MART-1 and gp100 antigens either intralymphatically every 4 weeks for 2 doses or IV every 3 weeks for 4 doses Some patients also receive interleukin-2 subcutaneously or IV over 3-5 days beginning 24 hours after immunization

Cohorts of 2-9 patients receive escalating doses of pulsed dendritic cells IV 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 Subsequent cohorts receive cells with or without interleukin-2 One cohort may expand to 15 patients to determine the accuracy of immunologic response to the vaccine

One cohort of 11 patients receives cells intralymphatically without interleukin-2 every 3-4 weeks for 2 courses Patients with stable disease or who achieve minor mixed or partial response may be retreated

Patients with stable or responding disease undergo a second course of vaccination Patients who completed treatment with vaccine alone and have stable disease progressive disease disease progression after a response or a partial response with no further improvement may receive 2 additional courses

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 10-42 patients will be accrued for this study
