NCT00060333

Brief Summary

This phase II trial is studying how well adjuvant radiation therapy works in treating patients who have undergone surgery for desmoplastic melanoma. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Giving radiation therapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells remaining after surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • 2-year Local Recurrence Rate (LRR)/Incidence of Local Recurrence

    The primary endpoint is the incidence of local recurrence within 2 years after treatment. Local recurrence (LR) is defined as a desmoplastic melanoma lesion recurring within the radiated field. The properties of the binomial distribution will be used to construct a 95% confidence interval for the true 2-year local recurrence rate (LRR). The Kaplan-Meier method will be used if some patients are lost to follow-up.

    Within 2 years after treatment

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Incidence of Regional and Systemic Metastases

    Up to 5 years

  • Survival Time

    up to 5 years

  • Failure Time

    Time from randomization to death due to any cause or disease progression (up to 5 years)

  • Toxicity

    Up to 5 years

  • Change in Fatigue From Baseline to 3 Months as Assessed by the Brief Fatigue Inventory

    Baseline to up to 3 months

Study Arms (1)

Treatment (adjuvant radiation therapy)

EXPERIMENTAL

Within 8 weeks after surgical resection, patients undergo radiation therapy twice weekly over approximately 2.5 weeks for a total of 5 fractions in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Radiation: radiation therapy

Treatment (adjuvant radiation therapy)

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0, 1, or 2
  • Pathologically proven DM \>= 1 mm in depth or locally recurrent DM; recurrent tumor is defined as a tumor found =\< 2 cm from the previous excision or within the surgical bed (which includes the extent of previous skin flaps)
  • DM resected with pathologically negative margins; acceptable surgery includes standard wide local excision and Moh's surgery
  • Tumors on the trunk proximal extremities need to have a \>= 2 cm negative margin; tumors located on the head and neck and distal extremities will have an attempt at 2 cm negative margins but due to location and subsequent concern regarding cosmesis a margin \< 2 cm will be acceptable if margin is negative
  • Margins from tumors resected using the Moh's technique will be accepted if negative and best approximation of tumor width will be made
  • Radiation therapy (RT) is to begin =\< 8 weeks after definitive surgical resection
  • Adjuvant systemic therapy (immunotherapy or chemotherapy) must be postponed until irradiation is completed

You may not qualify if:

  • Previous irradiation to the same site
  • Non-healing surgical wound
  • Active infection at the surgical site
  • Evidence of metastatic disease; local nodal disease is still eligible for the trial
  • Life expectancy \< 1 year
  • Melanoma with focally desmoplastic features, in which the desmoplastic melanoma is not the predominant histologic pattern of the tumor, will be excluded; non-desmoplastic neurotropic melanoma and non-desmoplastic spindle cell melanoma are also excluded
  • Previous malignancy \< 5 years excluding basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or cervical carcinoma in situ (with the exception of patients who have stage I breast cancer who were adequately treated with adjuvant therapy and are currently disease free, and patients with stage I or II prostate cancer treated with prostatectomy or radiotherapy and are biochemically free of disease \[for radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) prostate-specific antigen (PSA) \< 0.3 and for radiotherapy PSA \< 2.0 above the post treatment nadir\])
  • Any of the following:
  • Pregnant women
  • Women of childbearing potential who are unwilling to employ adequate contraception (condoms, diaphragm, birth control pills, injections, intrauterine device \[IUD\], surgical sterilization, abstinence, etc.)
