Can a pill combo keep uveal melanoma from coming back?
NCT ID NCT07804186
First seen Sep 04, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026
Summary
This phase 3 trial tests whether taking darovasertib and crizotinib after standard treatment can delay or prevent uveal melanoma from returning. The study enrolls adults with high-risk, non-metastatic uveal melanoma who have completed local therapy such as surgery or radiation. Participants are randomly assigned to receive the drug combination or to be observed without additional treatment. Researchers will measure how long people remain free of relapse or metastasis.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- darovasertib and crizotinib
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this combination could delay or prevent the return of uveal melanoma after initial treatment, potentially improving long-term outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is still testing the approach, and results may not show a clear benefit. Side effects from the drugs could also limit their use.
