OBJECTIVES: Primary \* To estimate the proportion of patients, with metastatic mucosal, acral, or chronically sun damaged melanomas, whose tumors have KIT aberrations, and who progressed or could no...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • 18 years of age or older
  • Histologically documented diagnosis of mucosal melanoma or acral melanoma or chronically sun damaged melanoma as evidenced by solar elastosis on pathology
  • Patient's tumor with evidence for KIT mutation or amplification. Patient tumors that already have documented mutations or amplification do not have to have tissue submitted again for analysis to confirm eligibility

  • Patient has a severe and/or uncontrolled medical disease
  • Patient has a rare hereditary problem of galactose intolerance, severe lactase deficiency or of glucose-galactose malabsorption
  • Patient with electrolyte abnormality unless the level can be corrected to normal levels prior to initiating study drug
  • Known brain metastasis
  • Known chronic liver disease
  • Patient has received chemotherapy within 4 weeks prior to study entry, unless the disease is rapidly progressing (6 weeks for nitrosourea or mitomycin-C)
  • Patient previously received radiotherapy to 25% or greater of the bone marrow
  • Patient had a major surgery within 2 weeks prior to study entry
  • Impaired cardiac function
  • QTc \> 450msec on screening ECG
  • Myocardial infarction within one year prior to starting nilotinib
  • Other clinically significant heart disease
  • Patients who are currently receiving treatment with any of the medications that have the potential to prolong QT interval
  • Patients who are currently receiving Warfarin \> 1mg/day
  • Patient with any significant history of non-compliance to medical regimens or with the inability to grant reliable informed consent
  • Prior therapy with nilotinib
