SU011248 in Patients With Metastatic Mucosal or Acral/Lentiginous Melanoma

NCT ID: NCT00577382

Last Updated: 2016-12-08

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: PHASE2
• Total Enrollment: 52 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2007-08-31
• Study Completion Date: 2014-08-31

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how effective Sunitinib works in treating acral lentiginous and mucosal melanoma which has spread beyond the local region. Suninitib is a protein-tyrosine kinase inhibitor and acts as a c-kit inhibitor drug. It is believed to work by blocking signals on certain cancer cells which allow the malignant cells to multiply and spread due to a change in the genetic make up of the cancer cell.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

• To determine the proportion of participants with metastatic mucosal or acral/lentiginous melanoma who are alive and without disease progression at two months after beginning treatment with sunitinib.
• To determine the best overall response rate.

Secondary

• To determine the time to progression and overall survival.
• To correlate c-kit mutational status with response to therapy.
• To evaluate the use of FDG-PET scanning in determining early biologic response to therapy.
• To assess amplification of c-kit status through quantitative PCR and/or FISH and other related molecular pathway targets.

Study Groups

Sunitinib

Cohort A participants received 50 mg sunitinib orally daily for 4 weeks followed by a two-week break from treatment. These 6-week cycles would be repeated until progression or unacceptable toxicity up to 1 year.

Cohort B participants received 37.5 mg sunitinib daily on a continuous basis until progression or unacceptable toxicity up to 1 year.
