Paclitaxel and Carboplatin or Temozolomide in Treating Patients With Stage IV Melanoma

Stopped early · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Melanoma (Skin)

In brief

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether giving paclitaxel together with carboplatin is more effective than giving temozolomide alone in treating patients with melanoma. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving paclitaxel together with carboplatin or giving temozolomide alone works in treating patients with stage IV melanoma.
