Investigating RP2 and Nivolumab for Metastatic Uveal Melanoma
Official title: A Randomized, Phase 2/3, Open-Label Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of RP2 in Combination With Nivolumab Versus Ipilimumab in Combination With Nivolumab in Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-Naïve Adult Patients With Metastatic Uveal Melanoma
Run by Replimune, Inc. · NCT06581406 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing whether a new treatment combining RP2 with nivolumab can help adults with metastatic uveal melanoma feel better compared to the standard treatment of nivolumab and ipilimumab.

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.

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Patients who are 18 years of age or older at the time of signed informed consent. * Patients with confirmed diagnosis of metastatic Uveal melanoma not amenable to surgical resection. * Has at least 1 measurable and injectable tumor of ≥ 1 cm in longest diameter (≥ 1.5 cm in the shortest axis for a lymph node \[LN\]) that is amenable to serial RP2 injections. * Must be willing to provide tumor biopsy samples. * LDH ≤ 2 × upper limit of normal (ULN). * Has adequate hematologic, hepatic and renal function * Prothrombin time (PT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN (or international normalization ratio \[INR\] ≤ 1.3) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) or activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0 or 1. * Life expectancy of \> 6 months as estimated by the Investigator. Key Exclusion Criteria: * Any exposure to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICIs) since the time of first being diagnosed with uveal melanoma. * Known acute or chronic Hepatitis B or C infection or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or any other uncontrolled infection. * Current active significant herpetic infections or prior complications of HSV-1 infection. * Any central nervous system (CNS) involvement of melanoma, including carcinomatous meningitis. * Major surgery ≤ 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study intervention. * Any bleeding, thrombotic and/or other event that places the patient at an unacceptable risk of complications of intratumoral therapy. * Active, known, or suspected autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment. * Prior treatment with an oncolytic virus. * Requires intermittent or chronic use of systemic (oral or IV) antivirals with known antiherpetic activity (eg, acyclovir). * Systemic anticancer therapy or prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of the first dose. * Has received Investigation agent within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever longer) prior to the first dose. * Conditions requiring treatment with immunosuppressive doses (\> 10 mg per day of prednisone or equivalent) of systemic corticosteroids other than for corticosteroid replacement therapy within 14 days after enrollment.
