Summary

This early-phase trial tests a radioactive drug called 225Ac-MTI-201 in 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 safest dose and understand side effects. Only 16 participants will receive a single IV dose, with doses increasing in small groups to determine the maximum tolerated dose.

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 to find a safe dose, not to prove it works. Radioactive drugs can cause serious side effects like low blood counts or liver injury.
