New drug combo tested against rare, aggressive eye cancer

NCT ID NCT04552223

Summary

This study tested whether combining two immunotherapy drugs, nivolumab and relatlimab, could shrink tumors in people with metastatic uveal melanoma, a rare and hard-to-treat cancer that starts in the eye and spreads. The trial involved 27 patients who had not received similar treatments before. Researchers gave the drugs through an IV every four weeks and tracked how patients responded and for how long.
