Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
I Determine the progression-free survival at 18 weeks and overall survival of patients with metastatic malignant melanoma treated with PS-341
II Determine the objective response rate of patients treated with this drug III Correlate p27 levels in tumor tissue with objective response rate in patients treated with this drug
OUTLINE This is a multicenter study
Patients receive PS-341 IV over 3-5 seconds on days 1 4 8 and 11 Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Patients are followed every 3-6 months for up to 2 years after registration
