Objectives

  1. Determine the effect of adjuvant sunitinib malate, tamoxifen citrate, and cisplatin on disease-free survival and overall survival of patients with high-risk ocular melanoma who have undergone primary therapy.
  2. Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

      • Ciliary body involvement
      • Epithelioid cell type only


  • Have undergone appropriate primary treatment for ocular melanoma


  • No measurable metastatic disease


Prior/Concurrent Therapy:

  • No prior sunitinib malate, tamoxifen citrate, or cisplatin
  • No other concurrent chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or surgery

Patient Characteristics:

  • No congestive heart failure requiring medication
  • No history of pulmonary disease requiring supplemental oxygen
  • No dyspnea at rest
  • No active infection
  • No chronic underlying immunodeficiency disease
  • No other serious illness that would preclude patient safety, in the opinion of the investigator
  • No other cancer within the past 5 years except nonmelanoma skin cancer or cervical cancer
  • No thromboembolic disease within the past 6 months

Outline

This is a pilot study.

Patients receive oral sunitinib malate once daily on days 1-21, oral tamoxifen citrate twice daily on days 1-7, and cisplatin IV on days 2 and 3. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 2 months for 2 years.

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.
