Study of Cemiplimab Plus Ziv-Aflibercept for Subjects With Metastatic Uveal Melanoma
What this study is about
The goal of this clinical research study is to find out if Cemiplimab plus Ziv-Aflibercept is safe and effective in treating your condition of metastatic (spread to other parts of your body) uveal melanoma. This research study will test the study drugs to see if the combination of Cemiplimab plus Ziv-Aflibercept can make tumors shrink or stop growing.

Interventions
DRUG
ZIV-Aflibercept
Ziv-Aflibercept is an investigational or experimental anti-cancer agent inactivates vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) from functioning and scientific experiments have shown that when VEGF is prevented from working, new blood vessels don't form in tumors and these tumors do not grow. In addition, VEGF has been shown to have a negative effect on the immune response and blocking it may help the immune response against cancer.
DRUG
Cemiplimab
Cemiplimab is a human monoclonal anti-PD-1 antibody that works by blocking the programmed death-1 (PD-1), a cell receptor on immune cells that is involved in preventing immune cells from destroying other cells. Blocking the receptor is expected to help immune cells attack cancer cells.
Primary outcome measures
objective response rate (ORR)
Time frame: 5 years
objective response rate as defined by Complete response (CR) plus partial response (PR) as assessed by RECIST criteria version 1.1.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
