Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy such as fotemustine work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing Studying samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors predict how well patients will respond to treatment

PURPOSE This phase II trial is studying fotemustine to see how well it works in treating patients with metastatic melanoma
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Assess the relationship between MGMT expression and response to fotemustine in patients with metastatic malignant melanoma

Secondary

Establish a value for MGMT expression below which fotemustine has a strong probability of effectiveness

OUTLINE This is a multicenter study

Patients receive induction chemotherapy comprising fotemustine IV over 1 hour on days 1 8 and 15 Beginning 5 weeks later patients achieving stable or objective response receive maintenance chemotherapy comprising fotemustine IV over 1 hour once every 3 weeks for 6 courses

Tissue samples are collected at baseline to assess level of MGMT expression by PCR

After completion of study treatment patients are followed every 2 months
