Purpose of this Study
We are doing this study to find out if a study drug called belzupacap sarotalocan (bel-sar) is a safe and effective option when it is combined with laser light therapy for people who have a type of eye cancer called an indeterminate lesion (a growth in your eye that is suspected to be melanoma) or choroidal melanoma, which is also known as eye melanoma.

What is Involved?
If you choose to join this study, you will get a random assignment to 1 of 3 groups:<ul>
<li><strong>Group 1:</strong> If you are in this group, you will receive a high dose of the study drug and will then get the laser application.</li>
<li><strong>Group 2:</strong> If you are in this group, you will receive a lower dose of the study drug and will then get the laser application.</li>
<li><strong>Group 3:</strong> If you are in this group, you will receive a sham dose (inactive dosing that doesn't have drug) and will then get a sham laser application.</li></ul>
The sham procedure will be the same as for the study drug and laser light application, except that no study drug will be injected in the eye (only firm pressure to the eyeball will be applied with a needleless syringe) and no laser light will be applied during the sham laser procedure.
Your chance of being assigned to any of the 3 groups are as follows:<ul>
<li>Group 1: 40%</li>
<li>Group 2: 20%</li>
<li>Group 3: 40%</li></ul>
<li><strong>Group 1:</strong> If you are in this group, you will receive a high dose of the study drug and will then get the laser application.</li>
