Successful use of nivolumab and relatlimab as salvage therapy for metastatic uveal melanoma

Identification of effective systemic therapies for the treatment of metastatic uveal melanoma remains an ongoing challenge. While immune checkpoint inhibitors are frequently used to treat this disease, response rates and survival outcomes remain poor. In this case report, we present two heavily pretreated patients with metastatic uveal melanoma who had robust responses to combination nivolumab (PD-1 inhibitor) with relatlimab (LAG-3 inhibitor) as salvage treatment. We highlight the ongoing research of the uveal melanoma tumor immune microenvironment and the potential role of LAG-3 inhibition as an effective treatment strategy.
