Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Interleukin-2 may stimulate a persons white blood cells to kill melanoma cells Interferon alfa may interfere with the growth of tumor cells It is not yet known whether combination chemotherapy plus interleukin-2 and interferon alfa is more effective than combination chemotherapy alone for metastatic melanoma

PURPOSE Randomized phase III trial to compare combination chemotherapy with or without interleukin-2 and interferon alfa in treating patients who have metastatic melanoma that cannot be treated by surgery
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Compare response rate duration of response and survival rate in patients with metastatic malignant melanoma treated with cisplatin vinblastine and dacarbazine with or without interleukin-2 and interferon alfa-2b
Determine the toxic effects of these regimens in this patient population

OUTLINE This is a randomized study Patients are stratified according to performance status 0 vs 1 prior interferon yes vs no and number of involved sites Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive cisplatin IV over 30 minutes daily immediately followed by vinblastine IV on days 1-4 Patients also receive dacarbazine IV over 60 minutes on day 1 following vinblastine
Arm II Patients receive treatment as in arm I Patients also receive interleukin 2 IL-2 IV continuously on days 1-4 and interferon alfa-2b subcutaneously SC daily before IL-2 on days 1-4 and after IL-2 on day 5 followed by filgrastim G-CSF SC daily on days 7-16

Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Patients are followed at 6 weeks every 3 months for 18 months every 6 months for 18 months and then annually for 2 years

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 482 patients will be accrued for this study within 35 years
