Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients with primary localized uveal melanoma who require enucleation or plaque brachytherapy and meet specific health criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with previous treatment using a Protein Kinase C inhibitor or those with concurrent malignant diseases may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This Phase 2 multi-center open-label study evaluates the effectiveness of darovasertib in patients with primary uveal melanoma who require either enucleation or plaque brachytherapy. Participants will receive neoadjuvant treatment for up to 6 months, followed by primary local therapy, and an additional 6 months of adjuvant treatment. The study aims to assess visual outcomes, disease recurrence, and the development of metastatic disease over a long-term follow-up period of up to 3 years.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could improve outcomes for patients with localized ocular melanoma and potentially reduce the risk of disease recurrence.
How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on uveal melanoma treatments, the specific use of darovasertib in this context is relatively novel.
