About

This is a a multicenter, randomized, controlled, phase III trial comparing High-Dose IFN-a2b with Temozolomide Plus Cisplatin as Systemic Adjuvant Therapy for Resected Mucosal Melanoma.The study objective is to compare efficacy and safety of High-dose IFN-a2b and temozolomide-based chemotherapy as adjuvant therapy.

Full description

The patients who comply with the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be enrolled. The estimated recruiting duration is 36 months. Patients with resected mucosal melanoma were randomized into two groups: HDI group (group A, treated with i.v. 15×10^6U/m^2/d IFN-a2b on days 1 to 5 each week for 4 weeks, followed by s.c. 9×10^6U IFN-a2b three times per week for 48 weeks), and chemotherapy group (group B, per os 200 mg/m^2/d temozolomide on days 1 to 5 plus i.v. 75 mg/m^2 cisplatin divided into 3 days,which was repeated every 3 weeks for six cycles). All patients will be followed for at least 2 years.
