Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - ABI-007
Treatment: Drugs - Dacarbazine
Experimental: ABI-007 - Treatment Arm A (ABI-007): Patients who receive ABI-007 will be dosed intravenously over approximately 30 minutes without steroid pre-medication and without G-CSF prophylaxis (unless modified as described below). ABI-007 150 mg/m2 will be administered on Days 1, 8, and 15 every 4 weeks.
Active comparator: Dacarbazine - Treatment Arm B (dacarbazine): Patients who receive dacarbazine will be dosed intravenously at 1000 mg/m2 on Day 1 with steroid and antiemetic pre-medication. Treatment will be repeated every 21 days.
Treatment: Drugs: ABI-007
Patients who receive ABI-007 will be dosed intravenously over approximately 30 minutes without steroid pre-medication and without G-CSF prophylaxis (unless modified as described below). ABI-007 150 mg/m2 will be administered on Days 1, 8, and 15 every 4 weeks.
Treatment: Drugs: Dacarbazine
Patients who receive dacarbazine will be dosed intravenously at 1000 mg/m2 on Day 1 with steroid and antiemetic pre-medication. Treatment will be repeated every 21 days.

Progression Free Survival (PFS) Based on a Blinded Radiology Assessment of Response Using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Guidelines
Query!
Assessment method [1]
0
0
PFS was defined as the time from the randomization date to the start of disease progression or patient death, whichever occurred first. Participants who did not have disease progression or had not died were censored at the last known time that the patient was progression free. In the event of palliative radiotherapy or surgery, they were censored at the last assessment where they were documented to be progression-free prior to the date of radiotherapy or surgery. In follow up, participants who began new anticancer therapy prior to documented progression were censored at the last assessment where they were documented as progression free. Those with two or more missing response assessments prior to a visit with documented disease progression (or death) were censored at the last visit where they were documented to be progression free. RECIST defines progressive disease as a = 20% increase taking as reference the smallest sum of the longest diameters recorded since the treatment began.

Summary of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (AEs)
Query!
Assessment method [2]
0
0
A Treatment Emergent AE (TEAE) was any AE that began or worsened after the start of the study drug through 30 days after the last dose of study drug or end of study whichever is later. A treatment related toxicity was one considered by the investigator to be possibly, probably or definitely related to study drug. AE's were graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) V 3.0 criteria and the following scale:
Grade 1 = Mild, Grade 2 = Moderate, Grade 3 = Severe, Grade 4 = Life threatening, and Grade 5 = Death A SAE is any untoward medical occurrence at any dose that is fatal or life threatening, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity; requires prolonged hospitalizations; is a congenital anomaly birth defect in the offspring of a patient, and conditions not included in the above that may jeopardize the patient or may require intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.

Summary
Brief summary
The main purpose of this research study is to compare the safety, tolerability, and anti tumor activity of an investigational drug, ABI-007 versus Dacarbazine in patients with metastatic melanoma who have not previously received chemotherapy. ABI-007 is a new preparation of the active drug paclitaxel. It contains the same medication as the prescription chemotherapy drug Abraxane®. Abraxane® is approved by the FDA for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer after failure of combination chemotherapy for metastatic disease or relapse within 6 months of adjuvant chemotherapy. Dacarbazine is approved by the FDA for the treatment of melanoma. In this study, ABI-007 and Dacarbazine will be tested as therapy for people who have not yet had any cancer treatment for the diagnosis of metastatic melanoma.
