Trial Information

A Phase II Pilot Trial of Sutent, Tamoxifen, and Cisplatin in Patients With High-Risk Ocular Melanoma


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the effect of adjuvant sunitinib malate, tamoxifen citrate, and cisplatin on
disease-free survival and overall survival of patients with high-risk ocular melanoma
who have undergone primary therapy.

- Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a pilot study.

Patients receive oral sunitinib malate once daily on days 1-21, oral tamoxifen citrate twice
daily on days 1-7, and cisplatin IV on days 2 and 3. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 4
courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 2 months for 2 years.
