Brief Summary: RATIONALE Vaccines may make the body build an immune response to kill melanoma cells

PURPOSE Phase III trial to study the effectiveness of vaccine therapy in treating patients with metastatic melanoma
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Determine the toxicity of intralesional immunotherapy with a recombinant vaccinia virus encoding the gene for sargramostim GM-CSF in patients with metastatic melanoma II Determine the efficiency of viral infection and GM-CSF gene insertion and function in these patients III Determine the capacity of this regimen to generate antiviral and antitumor immunity in these patients IV Determine the frequency of regression of injected and uninjected lesions in these patients

OUTLINE This is a dose-escalation study of intralesional recombinant vaccinia virus encoding the gene for sargramostim GM-CSF rV-GM-CSF Patients are stratified by center Patients receive small pox vaccinia vaccine via multipuncture technique on day 0 On day 4 patients with a progressive major reaction to the initial vaccination receive rV-GM-CSF intralesionally twice weekly for 5 weeks Only 1 lesion is treated and at least 1 measurable lesion is left untreated in each patient Patients with responding disease after week 5 are retreated at a clinically appropriate dose and schedule Cohorts of 5 patients receive escalating doses of intralesional rV-GM-CSF until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined Additional patients receive rV-GM-CSF at the MTD

PROJECTED ACCRUAL Approximately 30 patients 15 for each phase will be accrued for this study
