Study Summary

This randomized phase II trial is studying how well giving sorafenib together with either temsirolimus or tipifarnib works in treating patients with stage IV melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery. Sorafenib, temsirolimus, and tipifarnib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Sorafenib and tipifarnib may also stop the growth of tumor by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether sorafenib is more effective when given together with temsirolimus or tipifarnib in treating patients with malignant melanoma.

Primary Outcome

Complete response corresponds to complete disappearance of all measurable and non-measurable lesions with no new lesions. Partial response corresponds to greater than or equal to 30fi decrease of sum of longest diameter of all target measurable lesions with no new lesion and non unequivocal progression of non-measurable disease.

Interventions

  • DRUG sorafenib tosylate
  • DRUG tipifarnib
  • DRUG temsirolimus
