Radioactive drug trial aims at rare eye cancer
NCT ID NCT05496686
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-phase trial tests a radioactive drug called 225Ac-MTI-201 in 16 people with metastatic uveal melanoma, a rare eye cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. The main goal is to find the highest safe dose and understand side effects. Participants receive a single IV dose, and researchers monitor for toxicities and how the drug leaves the body.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 225Ac-MTI-201 (a radioactive drug given by IV)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for metastatic uveal melanoma, a rare eye cancer that has spread.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small Phase 1 trial with only 16 people. The main goal is safety, not effectiveness. The radioactive drug may cause serious side effects, and it is unknown if it will shrink tumors.
