Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:~* Histologically or cytologically confirmed cutaneous malignant melanoma with evidence of metastasis (Stage IV).~* No prior cytotoxic chemotherapy for metastatic malignant melanoma is permitted. Prior treatment with kinase inhibitors or cytokines is permitted.~* No prior adjuvant cytotoxic chemotherapy is permitted. Prior adjuvant therapy with interferon, Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and/or vaccines is permitted.~* Male or non-pregnant and non-lactating female, and ≥ 18 years of age. If a female patient is of child-bearing potential, as evidenced by regular menstrual periods, she must have a negative serum pregnancy test Beta human chorionic gonadotropin (ß-hCG) within 72 hours prior to first study drug administration. If sexually active, the patient must agree to utilize contraception considered adequate and appropriate by the investigator.~* No other current active malignancy within the past 3 years.~* Radiographically-documented measurable disease (defined by the presence of at least 1 radiographically documented measurable lesion~* Patient has the following blood counts at Baseline:~* Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 10\^9 cells/L;~* platelets ≥ 100 x 10\^9 cells/L;~* Hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 9 g/dL.~* Patient has the following blood chemistry levels at Baseline:~* Aspartate aminotransferase(AST) glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) ≤ 2.5x upper limit of normal range (ULN); ≤ 5.0 xULN if hepatic metastases present;~* total bilirubin ≤ ULN;~* creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg/dL.~* Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) ≤ 2.0 x ULNa~* Expected survival of \> 12 weeks.~* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1.~* Patient or his/her legally authorized representative or guardian has been informed about the nature of the study, and has agreed to participate in the study, and signed the Informed Consent form prior to participation in any study-related activities.~Exclusion Criteria:~* History of or current evidence of brain metastases, including leptomeningeal involvement.~* Patient has pre-existing peripheral neuropathy of National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Scale of Grade ≥ 2.~* Prior radiation to a target lesion is permitted only if there has been clear progression of the lesion since radiation was completed.~* Patient has a clinically significant concurrent illness.~* Patient is, in the investigator's opinion, unlikely to be able to complete the study through the End of Study (EOS) visit.~* Patient is currently enrolled, or will enroll in a different clinical study in which investigational therapeutic procedures are performed or investigational therapies are administered while participating in this study. Marker studies or studies evaluating biological correlates are permitted.~* Patient has serious medical risk factors involving any of the major organ systems such that the investigator considers it unsafe for the patient to receive an experimental research drug.

Study Arms:
- ABI-007 (Type: EXPERIMENTAL): Treatment Arm A (ABI-007): Patients who receive ABI-007 will be dosed intravenously over approximately 30 minutes without steroid pre-medication and without G-CSF prophylaxis (unless modified as described below). ABI-007 150 mg/m2 will be administered on Days 1, 8, and 15 every 4 weeks.
- Dacarbazine (Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR): Treatment Arm B (dacarbazine): Patients who receive dacarbazine will be dosed intravenously at 1000 mg/m2 on Day 1 with steroid and antiemetic pre-medication. Treatment will be repeated every 21 days.

Based on this trial design, predict the completion outcome and termination type (if applicable).
