Genistein and Interleukin-2 in Treating Patients With Metastatic Melanoma or Kidney Cancer

Completed · Early Phase 1

Conditions studied: Kidney Cancer, Melanoma (Skin)

In brief

RATIONALE: Genistein 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. Interleukin-2 may stimulate the white blood cells, including natural killer cells, to kill melanoma or kidney cancer cells. Giving genistein together with interleukin-2 may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving genistein together with interleukin-2 works in treating patients with metastatic melanoma or kidney cancer.
