Inclusion Criteria
1. Patients with c-KIT mutated histologically proven advanced mucosal or acral melanoma in which the mutation is not known to be associated with nilotinib resistance.
2. Unresectable locally advanced or metastatic disease
3. The presence of one or more clinically or radiologically measurable lesions at least 10mm in size
4. ECOG performance status 0, 1 or 2
5. Life expectancy greater than 12 weeks
6. At least 28 days since major surgery and 7 days since skin/tumour biopsy
7. The capacity to understand the patient information sheet and the ability to provide written informed consent
8. Willingness and ability to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests and other study procedures
9. Age 18 or greater
10. Women must be postmenopausal (no menstrual period for a minimum of 1 year) or have a negative serum pregnancy test on entry in the study (even if surgically sterilised). Men and women of childbearing potential must use adequate birth control measures (e.g. abstinence, oral contraceptives, intrauterine device, barrier method with spermicide, implantable or injectable contraceptives or surgical sterilization) for the duration of the study and should continue such precautions for 6 months after receiving the last study treatment
11. Serum alanine transaminase (ALT) =2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN), total serum bilirubin =1.5 x ULN
12. Serum creatinine =1.5 x ULN
13. Haemoglobin =9.0 g/dL, absolute neutrophil count =1.5 x 109/L, platelets =100 x 109/L
14. Prothrombin time (PT) =1.5 x ULN

Exclusion Criteria
1. Intracranial disease, unless there has been radiological evidence of stable intracranial disease > 6 months. In the case of a solitary brain metastasis, evidence of a disease-free interval of at least 3 months post surgery. All patients previously treated for brain metastases must be stable off corticosteroid therapy for at least 28 days
2. Women who are pregnant, nursing, or planning pregnancy within 6 months after the last treatment
3. Men who plan to father a child within 6 months of the last treatment
4. Use of any investigational drug within 30 days prior to screening

6. Severe and/or uncontrolled medical disease
7. Known chronic liver disease
8. Known HIV infection
9. Previous radiotherapy to 25% or more of the bone marrow and/or radiation therapy in the 4 weeks prior to study entry
10. Prior exposure to a tyrosine kinase inhibitor
