Summary

This study tested whether a combination of two drugs, nivolumab and relatlimab, can shrink tumors in people with metastatic uveal melanoma, a rare eye cancer that has spread. Twenty-seven participants received the treatment to see how many responded. The goal was to control the disease, not cure it, as ongoing management is typically needed.
