Randomized Phase II Study Comparing Two Schedules Of Temozolomide In Combination With Bay 43-9006 In Patients With Advanced Melanoma
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating sorafenib tosylate and temozolomide for Melanoma (Skin). Completed, enrolled 169 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. Sorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving temozolomide together with sorafenib may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying two different schedules of temozolomide when given together with sorafenib to compare how well they work in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable melanoma.
