Chemotherapy With or Without Immunotherapy in Treating Patients With Stage III or Stage IV Melanoma

Completed · Phase 3

Conditions studied: Stage IV Melanoma, Stage III Melanoma, Recurrent Melanoma

In brief

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Injecting allovectin-7 into a person's melanoma cells may make the body build an immune response that will kill tumor cells. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of dacarbazine with or without immunotherapy in treating patients who have stage III or stage IV melanoma.
