Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, multicenter, phase II study to compare the anti-tumor activity as measured by progression-free survival (PFS) and the tolerability of Sorafenib in combination with Dacarbazine (DTIC) versus DTIC in combination with placebo in subjects with unresectable Stage III or Stage IV melanoma who have not received prior cytotoxic chemotherapy. A total of approximately 98 subjects will be randomized to receive DTIC + Sorafenib or DTIC + Placebo.

Sorafenib (Nexavar, BAY43-9006) + Dacarbazine

Sorafenib, 2 tablets (200 mg each) orally twice daily (bid) on study days 1-21 + Dacarbazine, 1000 mg/m\^2 intravenous on study day 1 (21 days per cycle) for double-blind (DB) treatment. Subjects who discontinued DB treatment with complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) entered active follow up period. Subjects who discontinued DB treatment with disease progression (DP) entered long term follow up period.
