Vaccine Therapy With or Without Interleukin-2 in Treating Patients With Metastatic Melanoma

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Melanoma (Skin)

In brief

RATIONALE: Vaccines may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. It is not yet known whether combining melanoma vaccine with interleukin-2 is more effective than vaccine therapy alone in treating metastatic melanoma. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of melanoma vaccine and interleukin-2 with that of melanoma vaccine alone in treating patients who have metastatic melanoma that has not responded to previous treatment.
