Summary

This study tests a drug called tebentafusp in people with a rare eye cancer (uveal melanoma) that is too large to remove with standard surgery. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink the tumor enough to allow less invasive treatment. About 19 participants will receive the drug and be monitored for tumor shrinkage and side effects.
