Objectives

Primary

  1. Determine the response rate in patients with stage IV ocular melanoma treated with two different doses of lenalidomide.
  2. Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients.

Secondary

  1. Determine the progression-free and overall survival of patients treated with this drug.
  2. Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients.
  3. Compare the efficacy and acceptable toxicity of this drug in these patients.

Expected Enrollment

38

A total of 12-38 patients will be accrued for this study within 2-3 years.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome(s)

Clinical response rate (complete and partial response)
Toxicity

Outline

This is a randomized study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive oral lenalidomide once daily on days 1-21.


  • Arm II: Patients receive lenalidomide as in group one at a higher dose.


In both arms, courses repeat every 28 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 1 month, monthly for 2 months, and then every 3 months thereafter.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
