Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Interferon alfa may interfere with the growth of the cancer cells Interleukin-2 may stimulate a persons white blood cells to kill melanoma cells It is not yet known which treatment regimen is more effective in treating melanoma

PURPOSE Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of two regimens of combination chemotherapy plus interferon alfa and interleukin-2 in treating patients who have metastatic melanoma
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Assess the rate of disease stabilization in patients with metastatic melanoma when treated with interferon alfa dacarbazine cisplatin and interleukin-2
Assess toxicity overall response rate and response duration in these patients when treated with this regimen

OUTLINE This is a randomized multicenter study Patients are stratified according to center Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive dacarbazine IV over 1 hour and cisplatin IV over 3 hours on days 1-3 Patients also receive interferon alfa subcutaneously SQ on days 1-5 and interleukin-2 by continuous IV infusion on days 4-9 Treatment continues every 28 days for a maximum of 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Arm II Patients receive dacarbazine IV on day 1 and 22 every 28 days for 2 courses Patients then receive treatment as in arm I for a maximum of 4 courses

Patients are followed every 2 months for 6 months then every 3 months thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 42-90 patients will be accrued for this study
