Intetumumab
Intetumumab will be administered at the dose of 3 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) as intravenous infusion (a fluid or a medicine delivered into a vein by way of a needle) over a period of 2 hours (hr) (± 15 minutes) once every 3 weeks until the occurrence of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs). In Phase 2, intetumumab (5 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg) will be administered for 8 cycles until no evidence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. If a participant responds to therapy with stable disease (SD) or better, the participant will be eligible to receive up to 8 cycles of extended administrations.
Dacarbazine
Commercially available dacarbazine will be administered intravenously over a 60-minute period (+30 minutes/-30 minutes) and prior to the intetumumab/placebo infusion. In case participants are unable to tolerate dacarbazine even after 2 dose reductions, they will be given the option to continue on intetumumab alone.
Placebo
Placebo will be administered intravenously over a period of 2 hours (+15 minutes/-15 minutes).
