About this trial
Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults. Despite successful control of the primary tumor, metastatic disease will develop in approximately 35%-50% of the patients within 10 years. The liver is the most common site for metastases, and about 50% of the patients will have isolated liver metastases. These metastases are generally refractory to systemic chemotherapy and the median survival for patients with liver metastases is about 6 months. Regardless of treatment, the mortality rate is approximately 90% at 2 years with only about 1% of the patients surviving more than 5 years.
The primary objective with this study is to evaluate progression-free survival in patients with uveal melanoma liver metastases randomized to either percutaneous hepatic perfusion (PHP) in combination with ipilimumab and nivolumab or ipilimumab and nivolumab only. Secondary objectives include further efficacy and safety analysis, as well as biomarker discovery.
