Phase 2 Combination of Melphalan/HDS Via PHP + Tebentafusp in Treating Metastatic Uveal Melanoma (NCT07276386)

Phase 2 Sequential Treatment With Melphalan/HDS Via Percutaneous Hepatic Perfusion Followed by Tebentafusp in the Treatment of Metastatic Uveal Melanoma

🟢 Recruiting Phase2 💊 Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This Phase 2 study evaluates the efficacy and safety of sequential treatment with percutaneous hepatic perfusion (PHP) using melphalan/HDS followed by tebentafusp in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM) with isolated liver metastases. The rationale is that PHP enhances antigen release and immunomodulation, potentially sensitizing tumors to tebentafusp in HLA-A\*02:01-positive patients.

Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (11 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (20 items).

Location: Moffitt Cancer Center — Tampa, Florida

Age range: 18 Years

Instant Checklist

Check every box below. If you can check all of them, you may meet the study's basic screening requirements (final eligibility is confirmed by the site team).

Usually NOT eligible if any of the following apply:

  • Exclusion Criteria:
  • Life expectancy of less than 6 months.
  • More than 50% of the liver volume replaced by tumor as measured by MRI.
  • Extrahepatic disease as measured by CT of thorax abdomen and pelvis. (See inclusion criteria #10 above for limited treatable extrahepatic disease.)
  • History of congestive heart failure, active cardiac conditions, including unstable coronary syndromes (unstable or severe angina, recent myocardial infarction), significant arrhythmias and severe valvular disease that precludes the use of general anesthesia.
  • History or evidence of clinically significant pulmonary disease e.g. severe COPD that precludes the use of general anesthesia.
  • Patients who are unable to undergo general anesthesia for any reason.
  • Reduced renal function defined as Serum Creatinine \>=1.5xULN or Creatinine Clearance \< 40 mL/min, calculated using the Cockcroft and Gault formula.
  • Reduced hepatic function (defined as AST, ALT, bilirubin\>2.5\*ULN and PT-INR\>1.5) or medical history of liver cirrhosis (Child-Pugh Class B or C) or evidence of portal hypertension by history, endoscopy or radiology.
  • Hemoglobin \<90 g/L or platelets \<100x109/L or neutrophils \<1.5x109/L.
  • Use of live vaccines four weeks before the last study treatment.
  • History of severe reactions to melphalan, heparin or iodine contrast. Iodine contrast reaction history patients permitted if patient will be treated with pre-meds, or if still problematic, treating physician may switch to MRI TAP.
