Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how effective Imatinib (Gleevec) is in treating acral lentiginous and mucosal melanoma which has spread to other parts of the body in patients who's disease carries a c-kit mutation. Gleevec is a protein-kinase inhibitor. It is believed that Gleevec may be effective in blocking signals on certain cancer cells which allow the malignant cells to multiply and spread.


Clinical Trial Description

- If tests show that the patient is eligible and they choose to participate in the study, they will receive a bottle of Gleevec pills. Each pill will be 100mg and the participant will take 4 pills once daily (400mg). The dose may increase to 400mg twice a day if the participant's cancer worsens.

- The following study procedures will also be performed at routine intervals throughout the course of treatment: blood tests, medical history updates; physical exams, Positron Emission tomography (PET) scan, and Chest/Abdomen/Pelvic CT.

- Participants will be on this study for approximately one year. ;
