Cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum(II) alone and combined with DTIC for treatment of disseminated malignant melanoma. 1979

J E Goodnight, and H S Moseley, and F R Eilber, and G Sarna, and D L Morton

Twenty-one patients with disseminated malignant melanoma were treated with cis-dichlorodiammine-platinum(II) (cis-DDP): ten with cis-DDP alone at a dose of 20 mg/m2 iv x 4 days every 4 weeks and 11 with cis-DDP at a dose of 15 mg/m2 iv x 4 days combined with DTIC at a dose of 200 mg/m2 iv x 5 days every 4 weeks. Two of 21 patients (10%) showed a partial response to therapy. There were no complete responses and no apparent increases in length of survival for responders compared to nonresponders. One drug-related death occurred. Otherwise, drug toxicity was acceptable and appeared to be diminished by iv hydration and prolonged administration. In this study, cis-DDP was not effective for treatment of disseminated malignant melanoma.

D008545 Melanoma A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.

D002945 Cisplatin An inorganic and water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts with DNA to produce both intra and interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.
