Uveal melanoma is a rare malignancy affecting 5.1 patients/million per year with definitive treatment options of enucleation or radiation therapy to the primary tumor. Unfortunately, no FDA-approved systemic therapies exist for patients in the adjuvant or metastatic setting. Molecular profiling over the past decade has helped define uveal melanomas by characteristic mutations: GNAQ, GNA11, BAP1, SF3B1, and EIF1AX mutations. GNAQ/11 mutations are present in over 90% of patients with uveal melanoma and lead to signal transduction through G-protein coupled receptors to downstream growth factors. PKC inhibition has been an active area of investigation targeting this pathway specific to uveal melanoma. Several molecules have been developed and evaluated in clinical trials. Responses have been noted but clinical development has also yielded multiple toxicities and pathways of resistance limiting both breadth and durability of responses leading to combination therapy approaches. PKC inhibition remains an active and encouraging area of research to determine effective therapies for patients with uveal melanoma.
