Summary

This study tested a combination of precise radiation therapy and an eye injection drug (aflibercept) for people with uveal melanoma, a rare eye cancer. The goal was to see if this approach could control the tumor while reducing damage to healthy eye tissue. Only 3 people enrolled before the study was stopped early, so results are limited.
