7. Performance Status: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0-2
8. Not a candidate for treatment with an immune checkpoint inhibitor (e.g., failed or did not tolerate prior therapy, or due to co-morbidities, pre-existing autoimmune disease, drug unavailability or standard of care)
9. Not a candidate for targeted therapy with BRAF or combined BRAF/MEK inhibitors (e.g., failed or did not tolerate prior therapy, BRAF V600 wild-type or due to drug unavailability or standard of care)

11. Thyroid function abnormality ≤ Grade 2
12. Candidate for at least one comparator drug:

    * Subjects must be candidates for at least one of the designated comparator drugs

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Presence or history of visceral melanoma metastasis
2. Presence of active nodal metastases (e.g., radiologic or clinical evidence of current nodal disease)
3. Presence of more than 50 melanoma lesions
4. Radiation therapy to any Study Lesion within 6 weeks of initial study treatment.
5. Chemotherapy or other systemic cancer therapy within 4 weeks of initial study treatment (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin), or regional chemotherapy (limb infusion or perfusion) within 12 weeks of initial study treatment
6. Immunotherapy for cancer within 4 weeks of initial study treatment
7. Local treatment (e.g., surgery, cryotherapy, laser ablation) to any Study Lesion within 4 weeks of initial study treatment
8. Anti-tumor vaccine therapy within 6 weeks of initial study treatment.
9. Investigational agents within 4 weeks of initial study treatment.
10. Concurrent or Intercurrent Illness:

    * Impaired wound healing or other extremity complications due to diabetes mellitus in subjects whose Study Lesions are located in an extremity
    * Severe peripheral vascular disease in subjects whose Study Lesions are located in an extremity
    * Significant concurrent or intercurrent illness, psychiatric disorders, or alcohol or chemical dependence that would, in the opinion of the Investigator, compromise the subject's safety or compliance or interfere with interpretation of study results.
    * Uncontrolled thyroid disease or cystic fibrosis
    * Clinically significant acute or unstable cardiovascular, cerebrovascular (stroke), renal, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, immunological, endocrine, or central nervous system disorders

12. Contraindication for all comparators:

    * Subjects with contraindications to all of the designated comparator drugs
