Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out how effective an investigational drug named ZK-Epo is against melanoma. Although ZK-Epo has been studied in the treatment of cancer, it is not approved for use in treating melanoma. This research is being done because currently there are only a limited number of treatment options for patients who have melanoma that has spread to distant organs.

We expect each patient to be in this study for at least 2 cycles. One cycle lasts for 21 days. If their tumor does not grow after 2 cycles and they do not have any major side-effects, they may receive up to 6 cycles of ZK-Epo.

If after they have received 6 cycles of ZK-Epo and their doctor determines that the tumor is continuing to shrink, they will continue treatment with ZK-Epo. The number of treatments the patient receives after 6 cycles will depend upon when their doctor feels there has been maximum tumor response (tumor shrinkage). Two treatments will be given beyond what their doctor considers the point of maximum shrinkage. We estimate that they will spend anywhere from 1 1/2 months to 5 months taking part in this study.

DRUG

ZK-EPO

Participants were treated with 16 mg/m\^2 of ZK-EPO (EpothiloneZK) (Sagopilone) administered as a single 3 hour intravenous infusion every 21 days. Prior to each treatment, participants were premedicated with either granisetron or ondansetron and additional anti-emetics if needed. Chemotherapy was continued until disease progression, withdrawal of consent, or for unacceptable treatment-associated toxicity.
