Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: -Previous local treatment of Uveal Melanoma; -Tumour thickness < 3 mm; -Patients non eligible to brain-MRI pre-gamma knife due to anatomical or functional impairment; -Presence of distant metastasis; -Significant cardiovascular diseases requiring medical intervention or prior myocardial infarction within the last 2 years; -Simultaneous participation in another clinical trial, or participation in any clinical trial involving investigational drugs within 3 months from enrollment into the present study; -Any physical or psychological impediment in a patient that could lead the investigator to suspect his/her poor compliance.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: to determine if high-frequency CEUS using Sonovue, Bracco can be performed in the eye to visualize and quantify contrast enhancement in uveal melanoma before and after GKR.;Secondary Objective: -Identification of a correlation between response at A- and B- ultrasonography and at CEUS of the irradiated tumour. Evaluation of the possibility to assess CEUS quantitative parameters in future studies as predictors of tumour response to treatments.;Primary end point(s): Quantitative assessment of tumour vascularization in a specific R.O.I. (Region of Interest) pre and after tumour treatment with GKR by using different quantitative parameters: the main that will be investigated are TTP, RT, and PE (see the study procedures section for details).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 6 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): -Correlation between variation of tumour size at A- and B- scan ultrasonography and of the quantitative parameters (TTP, RT, PE, AUC, WiPI, WiR, MTT ). -Correlation between quantitative parameters’ variation and local and/or systemic disease recurrence. -Monitoring of adverse events at the injection site, systemic allergic reactions, and other adverse events occurring within 30 minutes following Sonovue administration (Common Toxicity Criteria 4.0).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 6 months
