    Abstract Abstract: Uveal melanoma (UM), arising from intraocular melanocytes, poses a complex clinical challenge with a substantial risk of distant metastasis, often to the liver. Molecular profiling, encompassing genetic, cytogenetic, gene expression, and immunological subsets, plays a pivotal role in determining prognoses. The evolving landscape includes promising systemic treatments, such as tebentafusp, a novel immune-modulating bispecific fusion protein, and targeted therapies. Combined regional and systemic approaches, including immune checkpoint inhibitors and innovative liver-directed therapy, are also under investigation. Although recent progress has improved outcomes, ongoing research aims to address the unique challenges of UM and develop effective therapies, particularly for HLA-A*02:01-negative patients who represent a significant unmet medical need. This review comprehensively discusses the molecular characteristics of UM, risk stratification methods, and the current and future spectrum of regional and systemic therapeutic modalities.

    Abstract Introduction: Metastatic uveal melanoma is associated with poor prognosis and few treatment options. Tebentafusp recently became the first FDA-approved agent for metastatic uveal melanoma.
    Areas covered: In this review, we describe the mechanism of action of tebentafusp as well as preclinical data showing high tumor specificity of the drug. We also review promising early-phase trials in which tebentafusp demonstrated activity in metastatic uveal melanoma patients with an acceptable toxicity profile that included cytokine-mediated, dermatologic-related, and liver-related adverse events. Finally, we summarize findings from a pivotal phase III randomized trial in which tebentafusp demonstrated significant improvement in overall survival in comparison with investigator choice therapy.
    Expert opinion: Tebentafusp has transformed the treatment paradigm for metastatic uveal melanoma and should be the preferred frontline agent for most HLA-A*0201 positive patients. However, patients with rapidly progressing disease or high tumor benefit may not derive the same benefit. Areas of future study should focus on its role in the adjuvant setting as well as strategies to improve the efficacy of tebentafusp in the metastatic setting.

    Abstract Uveal melanoma (UM) is a rare, genetically bland ocular malignancy with excellent local treatment options, but no disease-specific therapies are approved for use in the metastatic setting by the Food and Drug Administration. Metastatic UM (mUM) confers a prognosis of ~15 months. Unlike cutaneous melanoma, UM is poorly responsive to checkpoint inhibitors and cytotoxic chemotherapy highlighting the importance of clarifying vulnerable disease-specific mechanisms, such as cell cycle or metabolic pathways necessary for tumor growth and survival. The elucidation of signaling pathways downstream of the frequently mutated GNA GTPase such as PKC/MAPK/ERK/MEK, PI3K/AKT, and YAP-Hippo have offered potential targets. Potentially druggable epigenetic targets due to BAP1-mutated UM have also been identified, including proteins involved with histone deacetylation and DNA splicing. This review describes the preclinical rationale for the development of targeted therapies and current strategies currently being studied in clinical trials or will be in the near future.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Uveal melanoma is a distinct subtype of melanoma characterized by a unique biology and divergent response to immune therapies. In this review, we will discuss our current understanding of the pathophysiology of uveal melanoma, systemic treatment options for advanced disease, and potential future therapeutic directions.
    Recent findings: Although treatment with single-agent checkpoint blockade has been generally disappointing, the results of combined checkpoint blockade are modestly more promising. Several alternative systemic therapeutic approaches have been or are currently being investigated, including two agents that have been taken into registration-intent clinical trials: tebentafusp, a T cell redirecting agent, and IDE196, an oral protein kinase C inhibitor. Treatment of advanced uveal melanoma remains challenging, however, encouraging results from novel agents offer hope for improvement in the near future.
