RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Interleukin-2 may stimulate a person's white blood cells to kill tumor cells. Combining bryostatin 1 with interleukin-2 may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase I trial to study the effectiveness of interleukin-2 plus bryostatin 1 in treating patients who have melanoma or kidney cancer that cannot be removed during surgery.

Official Title: | Phase IA/IB Trial of Modulation of the Biological Response to Interleukin-2 (IL-2) With Bryostatin 1 (BRYO; NSC 339555) |
Study Start Date: | September 2000 |
OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind study. Patients are randomized to one of three bryostatin 1 dose levels.
Patients receive interleukin-2 subcutaneously daily on days 1-5 and bryostatin 1 IV over 1 hour on day 1 weekly for 3 weeks. Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients are followed every 3 months.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 21 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years.
