A Phase I/II Study of High-Dose Calcitriol in Combination With Temozolomide for Patients With Metastatic Melanoma
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Calcitriol and Temozolomide for Metastatic Melanoma. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Calcitriol may help temozolomide kill more tumor cells by making them more sensitive to the drug. Calcitriol may also stop the growth of melanoma by blocking blood flow to the tumor. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the best dose of calcitriol, the side effects of calcitriol when given together with temozolomide, and to see how well they work in treating patients with metastatic stage IV melanoma.
