Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The study is a phase 2, multi centered, single arm study designed to evaluate the correlation between cluster of differentiation 8-positive (CD8+) cell density and objective response rate in adults with unresected stage IIIB to IVM1c melanoma. This study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability profile of talimogene laherparepvec.

- description
- Talimogene laherparepvec was administered by intralesional injection into injectable cutaneous, subcutaneous, and nodal lesions at an initial dose of 10⁶ plaque-forming units (PFU) per mL on day 1 followed by a dose of 10⁸ PFU/mL 21 days after the initial dose and every 14 days thereafter. Participants were treated with talimogene laherparepvec until they achieved a complete response, all injectable tumors had disappeared, clinically significant (resulting in clinical deterioration or requiring change of therapy) disease progression beyond 6 months of treatment, per modified World Health Organization (WHO) response criteria, or intolerance of study treatment, whichever occurred first.
