Eligibility criteria

Study arms

• Experimental
  Cohort A (chemotherapy, radiation, thalidomide, surgery)

  Patients receive doxorubicin, ifosfamide, and dacarbazine IV continuously on days 1-3, 22-24, and 43-45. Patients receive G-CSF subcutaneously beginning on days 4, 25, and 46 and continuing until blood counts recover. Patients undergo radiotherapy once daily on days 7-11, 14-18, 21, 28-32, 35-39, and 42. Patients receive oral thalidomide once daily on days 7-21 and 26-42. Patients undergo surgical resection between days 84 and 98. Beginning 2 weeks after surgery, patients receive oral thalidomide once daily for 12 months in the absence of unacceptable toxicity.

Primary outcomes

1. Treatment Delivery With Compliance Defined as Receiving at Least 95% of the Pre-operative Protocol Dose of RT, All 3 Cycles of MAID (if Applicable), and Receive Thalidomide on 75% of the Days During Radiation

   Was to be estimated using a binomial distribution and accompanied by the associated 95% confidence interval. Due to early study closure, this endpoint could not be fully evaluated per the protocol plan.

   Time frame: Duration of treatment (which can continue up to approximately 15 months).

Secondary outcomes

1. Wound Complication (Grades 2, 3, 4, and 5) as Measured by CTCAE v3.0

   Will be estimated using a binomial distribution and accompanied by the associated 95% confidence interval.

   Time frame: From start of treatment to time of surgery

2. Response to Pre-operative Therapy Assessed Using RECIST Criteria

   Time frame: From start of treatment to time of surgery.
