Inclusion criteria
. Have a biopsy-proven diagnosis of metastatic uveal melanoma, previously untreated with anti-PD-1,Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and/or lymphocyte activation gene 3 (LAG-3) blocking antibodies.
. Agree to undergo a pre-treatment and a post-treatment fresh biopsy of the tumor, if easily accessible and low-risk.
. Have completed all previous therapy for a minimum of 3 weeks before the first dose of experimental treatment. All adverse events of previous therapy must have resolved. Palliative radiation therapy to a limited field is allowed within this 3 week period.
. Be willing and able to provide written informed consent/assent for the trial.
. Be ≥ 18 years of age on day of signing informed consent.
. Have measurable disease based on RECIST 1.1.
. Have a performance status of 0-2 on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Scale.
. Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) assessment with documented LVEF 50% by either TTE or Multiple Gated Acquisition (MUGA) (TTE preferred test) within 6 months from first study drug administration
Exclusion criteria
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
. Are currently participating and receiving study therapy or has participated in a study of an investigational agent and received study therapy or used an investigational device within 3 weeks of the first dose of treatment.
. Have a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving systemic steroid therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of trial treatment. Patients on replacement doses of corticosteroids and patients who received steroids as pre-medication to prevent an imaging contrast allergy are allowed.
. Have a known history of active tuberculosis (Bacillus Tuberculosis)
. Have had prior treatment with a PD-1 and/or LAG-3 targeted agent
. Have hypersensitivity to nivolumab, relatlimab or any of their excipients.
. Have had a prior anti-cancer monoclonal antibody (mAb) within 3 weeks prior to study Day 1 or who has not recovered (i.e., ≤ Grade 1 or at baseline) from clinically significant adverse events due to agents administered more than 3 weeks earlier.
. Have had prior chemotherapy, targeted small molecule therapy, or radiation therapy within 3 weeks prior to study Day 1 or who has not recovered (i.e., ≤ Grade 1 or at baseline) from clinically significant adverse events due to a previously administered agent.
. Have a known additional malignancy that is progressing or requires active treatment. Exceptions include basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has undergone potentially curative therapy, in situ cervical cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), incidentally discovered asymptomatic thyroid cancer, Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) recurrence of prostate cancer stable on hormonal therapy with no otherwise detectable disease, and a previous diagnosis of malignancy that has shown no evidence of disease progression for 5 years or longer.
