Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with confirmed metastatic uveal melanoma that cannot be surgically removed.

Probably not a fit

Patients who have previously received immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy will not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of RP2 in combination with nivolumab compared to the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab in adult patients with metastatic uveal melanoma who have not previously received immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. Participants must have measurable tumors suitable for treatment and be willing to provide tumor biopsy samples. The study is designed to assess clinical benefits and improve treatment options for this specific cancer population.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new effective treatment option for patients with metastatic uveal melanoma.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with similar combinations of immune checkpoint inhibitors, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
