Study of Tebentafusp and Radioembolization in the Treatment of Metastatic Uveal Melanoma

Phase 2, Single Arm Study of Tebentafusp and Radioembolization in the Treatment of Metastatic Uveal Melanoma

Study of Tebentafusp and Radioembolization in the Treatment of Metastatic Uveal Melanoma (NCT06627244) is a Phase 2 interventional studying Metastatic Uveal Melanoma and Metastatic Uveal Melanoma in the Liver, sponsored by University of Miami. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects (good and bad) that Tebentafusp in combination with Yttrium-90 (Y-90) radioembolization has on patients with metastatic uveal melanoma that has spread to the liver.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Metastatic Uveal Melanoma and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 30 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

Treatments Being Tested

DRUG

Tebentafusp

Tebentafusp will be administered intravenously to participants at or within 28 days of their first Y-90 TARE procedure. This 28-day period includes the 14- to 28-day Y-90 TARE Recovery Period. For administrative purposes, one cycle of tebentafusp treatment is 28 days in length. Tebentafusp will be administered on a dose escalation schedule for Cycle 1 starting at 20 mcg on Day 1, increasing to 30 mcg on Day 8, and a final dose of 68 mcg on Day 15, which will be administered once per week until unacceptable toxicity develops, disease progression, or withdrawal of consent, whichever occurs first.

RADIATION

TheraSphere™ Yttrium-90 Trans-Arterial Radioembolization

Participants will undergo radiographic and 99mTC-labeled macroaggregated albumin (99mTc-MAA) assessment for suitability prior to Y-90 absorbed glass microsphere treatment per institutional procedures. Y-90 trans-arterial radioembolization (TARE) is a standard of care treatment for intrahepatic metastases of uveal melanoma as indicated in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) consensus guidelines (NCCN Guidelines®, 2023). Y-90 absorbed glass microspheres will be administered at least one time prior to initiating Tebentafusp treatment. After the Y90-TARE procedure, participants will have a 14- to 28-day Y-90 TARE Recovery Period.
