A Phase II Trial of Carboplatin (CBDCA) and ABI-007(ABX) in Patients With Unresectable Stage IV Melanoma
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating carboplatin and paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation for Melanoma (Skin). Completed, enrolled 76 participants across 156 sites.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and ABI-007, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving carboplatin together with ABI-007 works in treating patients with stage IV melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery.
