Active substance

belzupacap sarotalocan (AU-011) with laser activation

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with eye cancer that has spread from another part of the body, potentially controlling tumor growth without removing the eye.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 24 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment involves a laser and injection into the eye, which carries risks like infection or vision changes.
