Study objectivesTo compare the effectiveness of dacarbazine with or without oblimersen (G3139) in treating patients who have advanced malignant melanoma.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedMalignant melanoma stages III and IV
InterventionPatients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups:
1. Patients in group one will receive dacarbazine once every 3 weeks for up to eight courses in the absence of disease progression.
2. Patients in group two will receive 5 days of G3139 followed by an infusion of dacarbazine. Treatment may be repeated every 3 weeks for up to eight courses in the absence of disease progression.

After completion of the study patients will be evaluated every 2 months for a maximum of 2 years from the time of randomization.
