Background: Metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM) historically has a poor prognosis where chemotherapy and checkpoint blockade, including combination, has had no impact on OS. Tebentafusp (tebe), a TCR bispecific (gp100 x CD3), is the first therapy to demonstrate an OS benefit in a mUM randomized trial (IMCgp100-202) against pembrolizumab (pembro), ipilimumab (ipi) or dacarbazine. Here we present a summary of OS from recent prospective trials in mUM in both previously untreated (1L) and previously treated (2L+) mUM including cross trial comparison with checkpoint blockade combination. Methods: A literature review of prospective Ph2/3 clinical trials of systemic therapies in mUM published recently (2019-2021) identified 8 trials: in 1L mUM (n = 2) a randomized Ph3 of tebe (N = 252) vs investigator’s choice (IC; N = 126) of pembro, ipi or dacarbazine (IMCgp100-202) and a single arm Ph2 of nivolumab (nivo) + ipi (N = 52; Piulats, 2021) (Table); in 2L+ mUM (n = 1) a single arm Ph2 of tebe (N = 127; IMCgp100-102); and in mixed line mUM (n = 5) a randomized Ph2 of cabozantinib (N = 31) vs chemotherapy (N = 15; Luke, 2019), a single arm Ph2 of nivo + ipi (N = 35; Pelster, 2021), a single arm Ph2 of pembro + entinostat (N = 29; Ny, 2021), a single arm Ph2 of glembatumumab (N = 37; Hasanov, 2020), and a single arm Ph2 of IMC-A12 (IGF-1 receptor inhibitor; N = 18; Mattei, 2020). The PUMMA (Khoja, 2019; N = 912) and Rantala, 2019 (N = 2494; n = 510 1L pts) meta-analyses were included to provide historical benchmarks for OS. Results: In previously untreated mUM, 1-yr and median OS were 73% and 21.7 months for tebe, 59% and 15.7 months for pembro, 52% and 12.7 months for nivo + ipi and 45% and 11.3 months for conventional chemotherapy. In previously treated mUM, 1-yr and median OS were 61% and 16.8 months for tebe, 34% and 7.0 months for checkpoint inhibitors, and 43% and 10.5 months for conventional chemotherapy. In mixed line (1L+) mUM, 1-yr and median OS were 56% and 19.1 months for nivo + ipi and 59% and 13.4 months for pembro + entinostat, 13.8 months for IMC-A12, 11.9 months for glembatumumab and 6.4 months for cabozantinib. Related AEs (any grade) leading to discontinuation and death for tebe were 2% and 0% vs 5% and 0% for IC control, and 23% and 3.8% for nivo + ipi in 1L pts. Conclusions: Tebe is the only therapy demonstrated to prolong OS in mUM. The 1-yr OS for tebe in 1L and 2L+ is superior to all recent published studies, including nivo + ipi. Both tebe and checkpoint combination therapy have high rate of any grade AEs, although checkpoint combination has a higher rate of treatment related discontinuations and deaths.
