Vaccine Therapy and Interleukin-12 in Treating Patients With Metastatic Melanoma

Completed · Phase 1/Phase 2

Conditions studied: Melanoma (Skin)

In brief

RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a tumor antigen gene may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. Interleukin-12 may kill tumor cells by stopping blood flow to the tumor and by stimulating a person's white blood cell to kill melanoma cells. Combining vaccine therapy with interleukin-12 may kill more melanoma cells. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of vaccine therapy plus interleukin-12 in treating patients who have metastatic melanoma.
