This week, our spotlight is on a pivotal study assessing the efficacy of tebentafusp in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma. The phase 3 trial revealed a significant improvement in overall survival for individuals treated with tebentafusp compared to standard therapies, with a median survival of 21.6 months versus 16.9 months in the control group. Notably, 27% of patients receiving tebentafusp were alive at three years, surpassing the 18% survival rate of the control group. This trial underscores tebentafusp's potential as a promising treatment option, offering a meaningful survival advantage for HLA-A*02:01–positive patients with this challenging cancer. The study was selected by Dr. Lara Valeska Maul-Duwendag, one of the Oncology Compass Scientific Leaders, and can be found here: https://lnkd.in/dq9VBJzW #melanoma #oncology
