Purpose : To further investigate the efficacy and safety of temozolomide plus thalidomide in patients with metastatic melanoma without brain metastases. Patients and Methods: Patients with histologically confirmed advanced-stage metastatic melanoma were enrolled in an open-label, phase 11 study. The primary end point was response rate. Patients received temozolomide (75 mg/m(2)/d x 6 weeks with a 2-week rest between cycles) plus concomitant thalidomide (200 mg/d with dose escalation to 400 mg/d for patients < 70 years old, or 100 mg/d with dose escalation to 250 mg/d for patients 70 years old). Treatment was continued until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression occurred. Results: Thirty-eight patients (median age, 62 years) with stage IV (three patients with M1a, eight with M1b, and 26 with M1c) or stage IIIc (one patient) melanoma and a median of four metastatic sites were enrolled, and received a median of two cycles of therapy. Twelve patients (32%) had an objective tumor response, including one with an ongoing complete response of 25+ months' duration and 11 with partial responses. Five patients achieving partial response with a more than 90% reduction of disease were converted to a complete response with surgery. Treatment was generally well tolerated. Median survival was 9.5 months (95% confidence interval, 6.05 to 19.38 months), with a median follow-up among survivors of 24.3 months. Conclusion: The combination of temozolomide plus thalidomide seems to be a promising and well-tolerated oral regimen for metastatic melanoma that merits further study.
