Study Details
This is a prospective, single arm, phase II clinical trial of neoadjuvant Tebentafusp (KIMMTRAK®) in patients with locally advanced primary uveal melanoma. Patients must be HLA-A\*02:01 with large, surgically unresectable (other than complete enucleation of the eye) primary uveal melanoma. The efficacy of this treatment will be assessed with the Simon's two stage design. The choice of design is guided by a desire to stop the trial early if the actual regression rate of primary uveal melanoma is 1% or lower.

Arms
- Experimental: Neoadjuvant Tebentafusp in Patients Locally Advanced, Unresectable Primary Uveal MelanomaTebentafusp administration: 20mcg on Day 1, 30mcg on Day 8, 68 mcg on Day 15, and weekly doses of 68 mcg thereafter. Eye evaluations including clinical examination, ophthalmic ultrasound, optical coherence tomography, and wide-angle fundus imaging will be performed at baseline, Cycle 1 day 1, Cycle 1 day 8, Cycle 2 day 1, prior to definitive treatment for primary uveal melanoma (post-Tebentafusp), and at post-eye treatment evaluation at 3 months. Additionally optical coherence tomography angiography, autofluorescence, fluorescein angiography and MRI orbit will be performed at baseline, post-tebentafusp, and at post-eye treatment evaluation. Blood circulating tumor-derived DNA will be performed at baseline, Cycle 2 day 1, post-Tebentafusp, and at post-eye treatment evaluation at 3 months. Primary eye tumor biopsy (collected by fine-needle aspiration) and aqueous circulating tumor-derived DNA will be performed at baseline and post-Tebentafusp.
Primary Outcome Measure
Regression of primary uveal melanoma after Tebentafusp treatment in 20% of treated patients. [ Time Frame: 3 months post-eye treatment ]
