{Abstract}: Uveal melanoma (UM) is a rare type of melanoma with distinct features from cutaneous melanoma, low response rates to immune checkpoint inhibition, and poor survival rates. Tebentafusp, a bispecific antibody engaging T cells with gp 100 on HLA-A*02:01, was recently approved by the FDA as the first drug of its class and the first treatment approved by the FDA to treat UM. In this review, we summarize the preclinical and clinical data on tebentafusp for UM. We additionally discuss patient selection and the relevant challenges. For the literature search, PubMed search and relevant articles presented at international conferences were used.
