High-precision radiosurgery followed by minimally invasive eye-sparing surgery for prominent uveal melanoma

Official title: High-precision Radiosurgery Followed by Minimally Invasive Surgical Approach in Patients With High-prominence Uveal Melanoma: Modern Radiation Techniques and Outcomes; PRIME: P: Precision R: Radiosurgery I: Intervention M: Minimal Invasive Surgical Approach E: EYESIGHT

Run by University Hospital, Essen · NCT07913412 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests a modern, precise radiosurgery approach followed by a minimally invasive surgery to see if it can control the tumor while preserving vision in patients with high-prominence uveal melanoma.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with high-prominence uveal melanoma deemed technically and functionally resectable.

Probably not a fit

Patients with extensive eye damage or cases where eye preservation is not possible may see limited or no benefit.

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

What this trial studies

This observational study prospectively evaluates modern radiation planning standards and newly adopted therapy techniques for high-prominence uveal melanoma. It uses high-resolution diagnostics and techniques such as VMAT and image-guided radiotherapy to guide treatment. The goal is to standardize treatment parameters and understand how these factors relate to long-term outcomes like overall survival and local tumor control.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients may benefit from improved local control of the tumor while preserving vision and eye function.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies in ocular radiotherapy and eye-sparing approaches have shown promise, but this exact hardware/software combination is a newer, observational evaluation.
