Two-Pronged attack on deadly eye cancer

NCT ID NCT02068586

Summary

This study is testing whether taking one of two oral medications—sunitinib or valproic acid—for 6 to 12 months can help prevent a high-risk form of eye melanoma from spreading to other parts of the body after initial treatment. It involves 210 patients who have already had their primary eye tumor removed or treated with radiation. The goal is to see if these drugs can improve survival and keep the cancer from returning.
