• Intervention Model: SINGLE_GROUP
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Study Groups

Tebentafusp in combination with Radioembolization Group

Participants in this group will first be administered Yttrium 90 Trans-Arterial Radioembolization (Y90 TARE) therapy, followed by a 14 to 28 day recovery period. Participants will then be administered Tebentafusp once weekly during every 28-day cycle. Participants may receive up to 24 months or 24 cycles of Tebentafusp therapy.

Total participation is about 3 years.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Tebentafusp

Intervention Type: DRUG

Tebentafusp will be administered intravenously to participants at or within 28 days of their first Y-90 TARE procedure. This 28-day period includes the 14- to 28-day Y-90 TARE Recovery Period. For administrative purposes, one cycle of tebentafusp treatment is 28 days in length. Tebentafusp will be administered on a dose escalation schedule for Cycle 1 starting at 20 mcg on Day 1, increasing to 30 mcg on Day 8, and a final dose of 68 mcg on Day 15, which will be administered once per week until unacceptable toxicity develops, disease progression, or withdrawal of consent, whichever occurs first.

TheraSphere™ Yttrium-90 Trans-Arterial Radioembolization

Intervention Type: RADIATION

Participants will undergo radiographic and 99mTC-labeled macroaggregated albumin (99mTc-MAA) assessment for suitability prior to Y-90 absorbed glass microsphere treatment per institutional procedures. Y-90 trans-arterial radioembolization (TARE) is a standard of care treatment for intrahepatic metastases of uveal melanoma as indicated in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) consensus guidelines (NCCN Guidelines®, 2023). Y-90 absorbed glass microspheres will be administered at least one time prior to initiating Tebentafusp treatment. After the Y90-TARE procedure, participants will have a 14- to 28-day Y-90 TARE Recovery Period.
