Brief summary
The safety and efficacy of CS-PHP-melphalan has been evaluated in a phase 3 trial conducted in the same patient population as well as using the same melphalan dosing as proposed in this study. This expanded access protocol will provide an experimental alternative treatment option for both physicians and patients until the Delcath CS-PHP System receives marketing approval.

Inclusion criteria
1. Histologically proven ocular/cutaneous melanoma with liver-dominant unresectable metastatic disease, defined as limited extra-hepatic disease and hepatic involvement which would, in the Investigator's opinion, result in morbidity and eventual mortality. Limited extra-hepatic disease considered acceptable includes: * up to 4 pulmonary nodules, each \<1cm in diameter * retroperitoneal lymph nodes \<1cm in diameter * resectable skin or subcutaneous metastases * asymptomatic bone metastases that have been, or can be, palliated with external beam radiation therapy * a solitary metastasis to any site that can be resected with limited morbidity or controlled with radiation 2. ≥1 measurable hepatic lesion per RECIST 1.1 3. Vasculature compatible with insertion of CS-PHP catheters, per baseline abdominal MRA 4. ECOG PS 0-2

Received an investigational product ≤30 days prior to the 1st CS-PHP-melphalan infusion 5. History of orthotopic liver transplantation, untreated gastrinoma (i.e. gastric acid hypersecretion) or prior Whipple procedure 6. Not recovered from side effects of prior therapy to ≤ Grade 1 NCI CTCAE 4.03 7. Child's B or C cirrhosis, or clinical evidence of portal hypertension 8.

History/evidence of clinically significant pulmonary or cardiac disease incompatible with fitness to undergo general anesthesia 11. Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus or hypo/hyperthyroidism 12. Active uncontrolled infection 13. History of bleeding disorders or known unresolved venous shunting 14. Requirement for ongoing chronic anticoagulation 15. Evidence of intracranial abnormalities resulting in risk for bleeding with anticoagulation 16. History of alcohol or drug abuse ≤6 mths 17. Other malignancy within 3 yrs before enrollment with the exception of curatively treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or curatively treated cervical, breast carcinoma in situ or prostate cancer 18. History of hypersensitivity to: melphalan or its components; iodine contrast that cannot be controlled by premedication with antihistamines and steroids; latex 19. Known hypersensitivity to heparin in the presence of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia antibodies 20. Inadequate hematological or renal function as indicated by any of the following: * Platelets \<100,000/mm3 * Hb ≤10 g/dL * Neutrophils \<2,000/mm3 * S Creat \>1.5 mg/dL or measured creatinine clearance \<60 mL/min/1.73 m2 21.
