Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Number of Participants Who Experienced One or More Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    DLTs were graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4 Events were considered DLTs, if judged by the investigator to be related to study treatment: Grade 4 non-hematologic toxicity Grade 3 non-hematologic toxicity lasting \> 3 days despite optimal supportive care (grade 3 fatigue not a DLT) Grade 3 or higher non-hematologic laboratory value reported as an adverse event if: medical intervention is required, or abnormality leads to hospitalization, or abnormality persists for \> 1 week (Laboratory values that persist for \> 1 week but are deemed not clinically important per both investigator and sponsor were not considered DLTs) Febrile neutropenia grade 3 or 4 Thrombocytopenia \< 25 x 10\^9/L associated with bleeding event requiring intervention Serious herpetic event (eg, herpetic encephalitis, encephalomyelitis, or disseminated herpetic infection) Grade 5 toxicity Any other intolerable toxicity leading to permanent discontinuation of study treatment

    Day 1 to Day 35

  • Durable Response Rate (DRR) Using Modified World Health Organization (WHO) Response Criteria

    DRR using WHO response criteria was defined as the percentage of participants who experienced objective response (complete response \[CR\] or partial response \[PR\]) lasting continuously for ≥ 6 months that starting any time within 12 months of initiating treatment. CR: Complete disappearance of all index lesions, including any new tumors which might have appeared. PR: Achieving a 50% or greater reduction in the SPD of the perpendicular diameters of all index lesions at the time of assessment as compared to the sum of the products of the perpendicular diameters of all index lesions at baseline (Day 1).

    Day 1 up to the maximum time on treatment or follow-up at primary data cutoff date (03 August 2020): 89.1 weeks of treatment and 37 months of follow-up

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Overall Response Rate (ORR) Using Modified World Health Organization (WHO) Response Criteria

    Day 1 to end of study, maximum time to end of study was 212.6 weeks

  • Time to Response (TTR) Using Modified World Health Organization (WHO) Response Criteria

    Day 1 to end of study, maximum time to end of study was 212.6 weeks

  • Duration of Response (DOR) Using Using Modified World Health Organization (WHO) Response Criteria

    Day 1 to end of study, maximum time to end of study was 212.6 weeks

  • Progression Free Survival (PFS) Using Using Modified World Health Organization (WHO) Response Criteria

    Day 1 to end of study, maximum time to end of study was 212.6 weeks

  • Overall Survival (OS)

    Day 1 to end of study, maximum time to end of study was 212.6 weeks

Study Arms (1)

Talimogene laherparepvec

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive talimogene laherparepvec administered by intralesional injection only into injectable cutaneous, subcutaneous, and nodal tumors, with or without image ultrasound guidance. On Day 1 (Week 0), the initial dose of talimogene laherparepvec will be up to 4.0 mL of 10\^6 Plaque forming units per millilitre (PFU/mL). Subsequent doses of talimogene laherparepvec will be up to 4.0 mL of 10\^8 or 10\^7 PFU/mL. The second dose is to be administered 3 weeks (+ 5 days) after the initial dose, and subsequent doses were to be given every 2 weeks (+ 3 days).

Drug: Talimogene laherparepvec

Interventions

Talimogene laherparepvec will be administered as an intralesional injection.

Also known as: Imlygic, T-VEC

You may qualify if:

  • Histologically confirmed diagnosis of melanoma

  • Participant who is treatment naive and is determined by the physician to be not suitable or eligible for the approved systemic anticancer drug therapy in Japan. Participant may also have received prior systemic anticancer treatment consisting of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy. Treatment for melanoma must have been completed at least 28 days prior to enrollment.
  • Candidate for intralesional therapy (ie, disease is appropriate for direct injection or through the use of ultrasound guidance, where appropriate) defined as one or more of the following:
  • at least 1 injectable cutaneous, subcutaneous, or nodal melanoma lesion greater or equal to 10 mm in longest diameter, OR
  • multiple injectable melanoma lesions that in aggregate have a longest diameter of greater or equal to 10 mm
  • Measurable disease defined as one or more of the following:
  • at least 1 melanoma lesion that can be accurately and serially measured in at least 2 dimensions and for which the greatest diameter is greater or equal to 10 mm as measured by contrast-enhanced or spiral computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or ultrasound for nodal/soft tissue disease (including lymph nodes)
  • at least 1 greater or equal to 10 mm longest diameter superficial cutaneous or subcutaneous melanoma lesion as measured by calipers
  • multiple superficial melanoma lesions which in aggregate have a total diameter of greater or equal to 10 mm
  • Serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels less than or equal to 1.5 X upper limit of normal (ULN) within 28 days prior to enrollment
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1

You may not qualify if:

  • Clinically active cerebral metastases. Participants with up to 3 cerebral metastases may be enrolled, provided that all lesions have been adequately treated with stereotactic radiation therapy (including Gamma Knife) or craniotomy, with no evidence of progression and have not required steroids for at least 2 months prior to enrollment.
  • Greater than 3 visceral metastases (this does not include lung metastases or nodal metastases associated with visceral organs). For participants with less than or equal to 3 visceral metastases, no lesion greater than 3 cm in longest dimension and liver lesions must be stable for at least 1 month prior to enrollment.
  • Bone metastases
  • Primary ocular or mucosal melanoma
  • History or evidence of symptomatic autoimmune disease (eg, pneumonitis, glomerulonephritis, vasculitis, or other), or history of autoimmune disease that required systemic treatment (ie, use of corticosteroids, immunosuppressive drugs or biological agents used for treatment of autoimmune diseases) in past 2 months prior to enrollment.
  • Active herpetic skin lesions or prior complications of herpetic infection (eg, herpetic keratitis or encephalitis).
  • Requires intermittent or chronic systemic (intravenous or oral) treatment with an antiherpetic drug (eg, acyclovir), other than intermittent topical use.
  • Previous treatment with talimogene laherparepvec
  • Other investigational procedures while participating in this study are excluded.
  • Known to have acute or chronic active hepatitis B infection, acute or chronic active hepatitis C infection or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
  • Participant has known sensitivity to bovine- or porcine derived components or to any of the products or components to be administered during dosing.
  • History of other malignancy within the past 3 years
