According to DelveInsight’s estimates, the uveal melanoma epidemiology shows varying distribution patterns, with comprehensive epidemiological insights covering the period from 2019 to 2032 across the 7MM. While incidence rates are relatively stable overall, minor increases have been observed in white populations in some regions, such as the US.
The analysis shows a median age of diagnosis of around 62 years. Furthermore, males show a higher incidence rate than females. Additionally, uveal melanoma incidence varies geographically, with higher rates observed in higher latitudes, such as in Northern Europe and the UK, compared to Southern Europe (e.g., Spain and Italy).
The DelveInsight report analyzes the uveal melanoma patient population across different demographic segments and geographic regions. The epidemiology section provides insights about historical and current uveal melanoma patient pools and forecasted trends for individual and forecasted trends through comprehensive studies and key opinion leader perspectives.

While treatment options for uveal melanoma remain limited compared to other cancer types, the therapeutic landscape is evolving rapidly with promising developments in the pipeline. The market currently prioritizes local control for primary tumors and focuses on managing metastatic disease, particularly in the liver. Primary uveal melanoma treatment options include radiation therapy (plaque brachytherapy, proton beam therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery), local resection, and enucleation, with a trend towards eye-sparing techniques. Plaque brachytherapy remains a common choice, delivering targeted radiation with high local control rates but carrying risks like radiation retinopathy. Proton beam therapy offers greater precision, beneficial for tumors near critical ocular structures, but may lead to vision loss.
For metastatic uveal melanoma, which commonly affects the liver, the landscape is shifting towards innovative systemic and regional therapies. While conventional chemotherapy has shown limited efficacy, immunotherapy, particularly with the FDA-approved tebentafusp (KIMMTRAK) for HLA-A*02:01-positive patients, represents a major breakthrough, demonstrating improved overall survival.
According to the DelveInsight report, the uveal melanoma therapies pipeline shows significant promise, with several therapeutic candidates progressing through different development stages. A key focus is on developing targeted therapies and immunotherapies, often involving combination approaches. Notable pipeline agents include darovasertib (a PKC inhibitor) and crizotinib (a MET inhibitor) combination being evaluated in Phase 2/3 trials for HLA-A2-negative metastatic uveal melanoma patients. Other emerging therapies include bispecific antibodies, adoptive T-cell therapies, MEK inhibitors, and novel biologics targeting specific pathways and mutations common in uveal melanoma, such as GNAQ/GNA11.
The increasing understanding of UM’s molecular pathogenesis and tumor microenvironment, including the role of BAP1 mutations and epigenetic alterations, is facilitating the development of these novel therapies and shaping the future treatment landscape towards more effective and personalized approaches.
Recent developments highlight the dynamic nature of the uveal melanoma treatment landscape. In April 2025, IDEAYA Biosciences announced a successful FDA Type D meeting regarding the Phase 3 trial design for darovasertib, with the trial designed to assess the safety and efficacy of darovasertib as neoadjuvant therapy for primary uveal melanoma, positioning the company for potential regulatory approval. This development represents a significant milestone in addressing the substantial unmet medical need in uveal melanoma treatment.
In March 2025, IDEAYA Biosciences achieved another major regulatory milestone when the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy designation for darovasertib, a potential first-in-class protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, for the neoadjuvant treatment of adult patients with primary uveal melanoma recommended for enucleation. This designation underscores the significant therapeutic potential of this novel approach in treating this rare and aggressive form of cancer.
