ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07063875
What this study is testing
What is Aldesleukin?
Aldesleukin is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for uveal melanoma.
Also referred to as Proleukin.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- A recent clinical trial found that after 36 months, patients taking tebentafusp had a median survival of 21.6 months, compared to 16.9 months for those in the control group. Since recruitment for tebentafusp in metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM) has ended, a new trial is starting to test whether adding IL-2 can help overcome resistance to tebentafusp and improve its effectiveness.
