    Uveal melanoma is a disease different from skin melanoma.


    Tebentafusp is a bispecific protein that is formed by the fusion of an affinity-enhanced T cell receptor and an anti-CD3 effector, which can redirect T cells to target glycoprotein 100-positive cells

    This study is an open-label phase 3 clinical trial that recruited HLA-A*02:01-positive patients with metastatic uveal melanoma who had not been treated before.


    Overall survival of the intention-to-treat population

    A total of 378 patients were randomly divided into two groups: 252 in the Tebentafusp group and 126 in the control group


    The 1-year overall survival rates of the Tebentafusp group and the control group were 73% and 59%, respectively.


    Progression-free survival in the intention-to-treat population

    The most common treatment-related adverse events in the Tebentafusp group were cytokine-mediated events (due to T cell activation) and skin-related events (due to glycoprotein 100-positive melanocytes), including skin rash (83%), fever (76%) and itching (69%)


    Changes in the incidence of treatment-related adverse events

    All in all, compared with the control treatment, Tebentafusp treatment prolonged the overall survival of previously untreated patients with metastatic uveal melanoma
