Brief Summary:
This randomized phase III trial studies carboplatin, paclitaxel, and sorafenib tosylate to see how well they work compared to carboplatin and paclitaxel in treating patients with stage III or stage IV melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Sorafenib tosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether giving carboplatin and paclitaxel together with sorafenib tosylate is more effective than carboplatin and paclitaxel in treating melanoma.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To compare the overall survival of patients with unresectable stage III or stage IV melanoma treated with carboplatin, paclitaxel and placebo versus carboplatin, paclitaxel and sorafenib (sorafenib tosylate).
II. To compare progression-free survival, response rate, and safety of patients with unresectable stage III or stage IV melanoma treated with carboplatin, paclitaxel and placebo versus carboplatin, paclitaxel and sorafenib.
III. To analyze the pharmacokinetic and pharmacogenetic properties of sorafenib including angiogenesis, monooxygenases polymorphisms and multidrug resistance (MDR).
IV. To assess the association of expression markers in the patient tumor with clinical outcome.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
Arm I: Patients receive paclitaxel intravenously (IV) over 3 hours and carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Patients also receive sorafenib tosylate orally (PO) twice daily (BID) (approximately every 12 hours) on days 2-19.
Arm II: Patients receive paclitaxel and carboplatin as in Arm I. Patients also receive placebo PO BID (approximately every 12 hours) on days 2-19.
In both arms, treatment repeats every 21 days for 10 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with stable disease or who achieve a partial response or complete response may continue to receive sorafenib tosylate or placebo alone BID (approximately every 12 hours) on days 1-21. Courses with sorafenib tosylate or placebo repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years.

Primary Outcome Measures :
- Overall Survival [ Time Frame: Survival was assessed every 3 months if patient is < 2 years from study entry. Every 6 months is patient is 2-5 years from study entry. ]Overall survival is defined as time from study entry to death from any cause. The comparison of overall survival was conducted in intention-to-treat population.
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Progression-free Survival [ Time Frame: Tumor response was assessed after every 2 cycles during cycle 1 through 10, and every 3 cycles after cycle 10. Survival was assessed every 3 months if patient is < 2 years from study entry, and every 6 months if 2-5 years from study entry. ]Progression-free survival was defined as time from study entry to disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. Patients without disease progression were censored at last date of assessment. Disease progression was assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.0.
- Objective Response (Complete and Partial Response) Rate [ Time Frame: Tumor response was assessed after every 2 cycles during cycle 1 through 10. After cycle 10, tumor response was assessed after every 3 cycles. ]Tumor response was assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.0. Objective response =complete response (CR) + partial response (PR). Complete response is defined as disappearance of all target lesions. Partial response is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of longest diameters.
