Who could take part
eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria 1. Male or female participants age ≥ 18 years of age at the time of informed consent 2. Ability to provide and understand written informed consent prior to any study procedures 3. Histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic UM 4. Must meet the following criteria related to prior treatment: * No prior systemic therapy in the metastatic or advanced setting including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy * No prior regional, liver-directed therapy including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or embolization * Prior surgical resection of oligometastatic disease is allowed * Prior neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy is allowed provided administered in the curative setting in participants with localized disease. Participants may not be re-treated with an Investigator's Choice therapy that was administered as adjuvant or neoadjuvant treatment. Additionally, participants who have received nivolumab as prior adjuvant/neoadjuvant treatment should not receive pembrolizumab as Investigator's Choice therapy. 5. HLA A\*0201 positive by central assay 6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 or 1 at Screening 7. Participants have measurable disease or non-measurable disease according to RECIST v1.1 8.

Out-of-range laboratory values 2. History of severe hypersensitivity reactions (eg, anaphylaxis) to other biologic drugs or monoclonal antibodies 3. Clinically significant cardiac disease or impaired cardiac function, 4. Presence of symptomatic or untreated central nervous system (CNS) metastases, or CNS metastases that require doses of corticosteroids within the prior 3 weeks to study Day 1.

Full study description
brief Summary
To evaluate the overall survival of HLA-A\*0201 positive adult patients with previously untreated advanced UM receiving IMCgp100 compared to Investigator's Choice of dacarbazine, ipilimumab, or pembrolizumab.
detailed Description
This Phase II study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of IMCgp100 compared with Investigator's Choice (dacarbazine, ipilimumab or pembrolizumab) in HLA-A\*0201 positive adult patients with advanced UM treated in the first line setting with no prior systemic or liver-directed chemo-, radio- or immune-therapy administered in the advanced setting (prior surgical resection of liver metastases and adjuvant systemic therapy are acceptable). Comparison of the IMCgp100 efficacy results in this Phase II study will be made with the concurrently randomized arm (Investigator's Choice) with a primary endpoint of overall survival (OS) and secondary efficacy endpoints of progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DOR), and disease control rate (DCR).
