Tebentafusp provides a promising advancement to date for the management of metastatic uveal melanoma. Future studies should aim at identifying biomarkers that can predict treatment response or toxicity, combination therapy, application of tebentafusp in the adjuvant setting to reduce the risk of recurrence, and development of bispecifics with activity in other HLA subtypes. With its novel mechanism of action, degree of efficacy and safety profile, tebentafusp is expected to change the standard of care for treating metastatic and, potentially localized, uveal melanoma.
