About the CoMpass clinical trial

The CoMpass trial will determine how well an investigational treatment, known as bel-sar, works in adults who have ocular melanoma, the most common type of eye cancer in adults. The trial will specifically look at this cancer in its early stages, which can also be known as small choroidal melanoma or indeterminate lesions (also known as early choroidal melanoma)

There are no drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of ocular melanoma in its early stages.

The investigational treatment is called belzupacap sarotalocan, or bel-sar for short. The trial will test two different doses of the drug compared to an untreated, or "sham" group. Participants will be randomized, which means that they will be put into different groups at random. The trial will also be masked, meaning that participants will not know which group they are in.

What is bel-sar?

Bel-sar Icon 1
Bel-sar is a new type of investigational treatment that targets cancer cells in ocular melanoma.
Bel-sar Icon 2
The drug is injected into the eye, where it attaches to the surface of the tumor cells. A laser is then used to activate bel-sar.
Bel-sar Icon 3
The goal of bel-sar treatment, if approved, is to control tumor growth and save vision.

The effectiveness and safety of bel-sar have not been established, and bel-sar is not approved for use in any country/region.

What will happen in the clinical trial?

Screening
Screening

Participants with ocular melanoma will be screened to see if they meet the requirements to join the trial.

About 100 participants with ocular melanoma will be included in the trial.

Treatment
Treatment

Participants will be randomized to receive treatment (bel-sar) or sham control (no drug).

Participants will receive 3 cycles of treatment over 10 weeks

Follow-up Period
Follow-up Period

Participants will meet with their clinical trial doctor for regular check-ups after the treatment.

The final checkup will be at 2 years.

After the Trial
After the Trial

At the end of the trial, participants will have the opportunity to join a long-term follow-up study.

Am I eligible?

Key inclusion and exclusion criteria include the following, among others:

You may be eligible to
