Study on Tebentafusp for Preventing Recurrence in High-Risk Eye Melanoma

Sponsor: European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer - EORTC

Sponsor score: 0

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT06246149

This clinical trial is exploring whether the drug tebentafusp can help prevent the return of high-risk uveal melanoma, a type of eye cancer, after initial treatment. Currently, patients are usually just monitored after treatment, but this study aims to see if tebentafusp can reduce the chance of the cancer coming back.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

Uveal melanoma is a type of eye cancer that often returns after initial treatment. This study is testing tebentafusp, a drug that has shown to improve survival in advanced cases, to see if it can also help prevent the cancer from returning in patients who have already been treated for high-risk uveal melanoma. The study will involve patients who have recently completed surgery or radiotherapy for their cancer.
