  Purpose

This study will assess the preliminary antitumor activity and safety profile of a combination of Avastin and dacarbazine in patients with unresectable/metastatic melanoma not previously treated with chemotherapy for metastatic disease. Patients will receive Avastin 10mg/kg iv every 2 weeks and dacarbazine 800mg/m2 every 4 weeks. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Overall response rate (complete and partial responses), tumor assessments by computer tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [ Time Frame: 4 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Safety: Adverse events, laboratory parameters [ Time Frame: up to 4 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Duration of response; tumor assessments by CT or MRI [ Time Frame: from response to progressive disease (up to 4 years) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Time to progression; tumor assessments by CT or MRI [ Time Frame: from baseline to disease progression or death of any cause (up to 4 years) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Overall survival [ Time Frame: from baseline to death of any cause (up to 4 years) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
