A Randomized, Phase 2/3, Open-Label Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of RP2 in Combination With Nivolumab Versus Ipilimumab in Combination With Nivolumab in Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-Naïve Adult Patients With Metastatic Uveal Melanoma

The purpose of this study is to measure the clinical benefits of the combination of RP2 and nivolumab as compared with the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma who have not been treated with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy.

  • Must be willing to provide tumor biopsy samples.
  • LDH ≤ 2 × upper limit of normal (ULN).
  • Has adequate hematologic, hepatic and renal function
  • Prothrombin time (PT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN (or international normalization ratio [INR] ≤ 1.3) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) or activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0 or 1.
  • Life expectancy of > 6 months as estimated by the Investigator.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any exposure to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICIs) since the time of first being diagnosed with uveal melanoma.
  • Known acute or chronic Hepatitis B or C infection or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or any other uncontrolled infection.

  • Any central nervous system (CNS) involvement of melanoma, including carcinomatous meningitis.
  • Major surgery ≤ 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study intervention.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: From Day 1 up to 3 years after last dose.
OS is the time from the date of randomization to death from any cause.
From Day 1 up to 3 years after last dose.
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: From Day 1 up to 3 years after last dose.
PFS is the time from randomization to first evidence of confirmed disease progression as assessed by BICR per RECIST 1.1 or death from any cause.
From Day 1 up to 3 years after last dose.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of patients with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)
Time Frame: From first dose up to 100 days after last dose.
The incidence of all TEAEs.
From first dose up to 100 days after last dose.
Overall Response Rate (ORR)
Time Frame: Every 12 weeks from Day 1 up to 3 years after last dose.
ORR is the proportion of patients with a confirmed best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), as assessed by BICR per RECIST v1.1.
Every 12 weeks from Day 1 up to 3 years after last dose.
Disease Control Rate (DCR)
Time Frame: Every 12 weeks from Day 1 up to 3 years after last dose.
DCR is the proportion of patients with a confirmed best overall response of CR, PR, or Stable Disease (SD), as assessed by BICR per RECIST 1.1.
Every 12 weeks from Day 1 up to 3 years after last dose.
