Phase II Study of the Predictive Value of the Expression of Tumoral MGMT With Respect to the Therapeutic Response of Fotemustine in Patients With Metastatic Malignant Melanoma
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Assess the relationship between MGMT expression and response to fotemustine in patients
with metastatic malignant melanoma.
Secondary
- Establish a value for MGMT expression below which fotemustine has a strong probability
of effectiveness.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Patients receive induction chemotherapy comprising fotemustine IV over 1 hour on days 1, 8,
and 15. Beginning 5 weeks later, patients achieving stable or objective response receive
maintenance chemotherapy comprising fotemustine IV over 1 hour once every 3 weeks for 6
courses.
Tissue samples are collected at baseline to assess level of MGMT expression by PCR.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 2 months.
