Brief Summary: This is a study to determine the safety and toxicity of increasing doses of arginine deiminase combined to polyethylene glycol ADI-PEG in patients with nonresectable metastatic melanoma
Detailed Description: The use of amino acid degrading enzymes derived from microbial sources has proven to be an effective means of controlling some forms of cancer auxotrophic for nonessential amino acids Recently it has been shown that human melanomas are auxotrophic for arginine As arginine is a nonessential amino acid for humans elimination of it may prove to be an effective method for controlling cancer Laboratory studies have provided promising results with the arginine-degrading enzyme arginine deiminase ADI coupled to polyethylene glycol PEG to enhance its circulating half-life

In this study patients each receive 3 intramuscular treatments of ADI-SS PEG over a 4-week period There are 4 cohorts of patients each receiving a different dose level Pharmacokinetics pharmacodynamics safety and toxicity and immunogenicity studies will be performed
