“…Furthermore, most systemic therapies for metastatic uveal melanoma (largely modelled after therapies for cutaneous melanoma) have failed to demonstrate clinical efficacy in phase ii trials [65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81] . However, immunotherapies, including the anti-ctla4 antibody ipilimumab, have shown some success in retrospective and expanded-access studies [82][83][84][85][86][87] . Pooling those publications, 188 patients with advanced uveal melanoma treated with ipilimumab experienced 1 complete response, 7 partial responses, and 52 incidences of stable disease.…”
