Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: Talimogene Laherparepvec; 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 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 (CR), all injectable tumors had disappeared, clinically relevant (resulting in clinical deterioration or requiring change of therapy) disease progression per modified World Health Organization (WHO) response criteria beyond 6 months of therapy, or intolerance of study treatment, whichever occurred first.

Drug: Talimogene laherparepvec; Talimogene laherparepvec will be administered by intralesion injection at an initial dose of up to 4.0 mL of 10^6 PFU/mL. The second and subsequent doses will will be up to 4.0 mL 10^8 PFU/mL. The second dose should be administered 21 days from the initial dose. All subsequent doses should be given every 14 days.; Other Names: IMLYGIC®; OncoVEX^GM-CSF

Number of Samples With Detectable Talimogene Laherparepvec in Lesions Suspected to be Herpetic in Origin	Any lesion such as a cold sore or vesicle thought to be herpetic in origin was evaluated by the investigator and swabbed if HSV infection was suspected. Quantitative PCR was performed on the swab sample to evaluate whether talimogene laherparepvec DNA was detectable in the sample.	From first dose until 60 days after last dose of talimogene laherparepvec; The median actual follow-up time was 28.9 weeks (range: 4 to 151 weeks).
Best Overall Response	Response was assessed according to modified World Health Organization (WHO) criteria using both clinical (cutaneous, subcutaneous, or nodal tumor measurement by caliper) and radiological imaging (computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or ultrasound of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis and all other sites of disease). Complete response: disappearance of all index and non-index lesions. Partial Response: ≥ 50% reduction in size of all index lesions and any new measurable lesions. Stable disease: Neither sufficient tumor shrinkage of index lesion to qualify for response nor sufficient tumor increase of index lesion to qualify for progressive disease, assessed a minimum interval of 77 days from the first dose of study drug. Progressive Disease: ≥ 25% increase in size of index lesions or appearance of one or more non-index lesions.	Tumor response was assessed at weeks 12 and 24 and then at least every 3 months up to the end of treatment; median duration of treatment was 23.1 weeks (range: 3 to 141 weeks).
Objective Response Rate	Response was assessed according to modified World Health Organization (WHO) criteria using both clinical (cutaneous, subcutaneous, or nodal tumor measurement by caliper) and radiological imaging (computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging or ultrasound of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis and all other sites of disease). Objective response rate is defined as the percentage of participants with either a complete response or partial response. Subsequent confirmation was not required. Complete response: disappearance of all index and non-index lesions. Partial Response: ≥ 50% reduction in size of all index lesions and any new measurable lesions.	Tumor response was assessed at weeks 12 and 24 and then at least every 3 months up to the end of treatment; median duration of treatment was 23.1 weeks (range: 3 to 141 weeks).
Time to Response	Time to response was defined as the interval from the first dose of talimogene laherparepvec to the first event of complete response or partial response per modified WHO criteria; participants who did not respond were censored at the last evaluable tumor assessment.	Tumor response was assessed at weeks 12 and 24 and then at least every 3 months up to the end of treatment; median duration of treatment was 23.1 weeks (range: 3 to 141 weeks).
Duration of Response	Duration of response (DOR) was calculated only for those participants with an objective response and defined as the longest interval from an initial objective response (complete response or partial response) to disease progression per the modified WHO criteria or death, whichever occurred earlier; otherwise, DOR was censored at the last evaluable tumor assessment for participants who did not die or progress.	Tumor response was assessed at weeks 12 and 24 and then at least every 3 months up to the end of treatment; median duration of treatment was 23.1 weeks (range: 3 to 141 weeks).
Durable Response Rate	Response was assessed according to modified World Health Organization (WHO) criteria using both clinical (cutaneous, subcutaneous, or nodal tumor measurement by caliper) and radiological imaging (computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging or ultrasound of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis and all other sites of disease). Durable response rate is defined as the percentage of participants with a complete response or partial response maintained continuously for at least 6 months (183 days). Complete response: disappearance of all index and non-index lesions. Partial Response:≥ 50% reduction in size of all index lesions and any new measurable lesions.	Tumor response was assessed at weeks 12 and 24 and then at least every 3 months up to the end of treatment; median duration of treatment was 23.1 weeks (range: 3 to 141 weeks).
Overall Survival	Overall Survival (OS) was defined as the interval from first dose of talimogene laherparepvec to death from any cause; participants still alive were censored at the last known alive date.	From first dose until 60 days after last dose of talimogene laherparepvec; The median actual follow-up time was 28.9 weeks (range: 4 to 151 weeks).
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)	The Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 3.0 was used to grade severity of adverse events, based on the following general guideline: Grade 1 = Mild AE Grade 2 = Moderate AE Grade 3 = Severe AE Grade 4 = Life-threatening or disabling AE Grade 5 = Death related to AE. A serious adverse event was defined as an adverse event that meets at least 1 of the following serious criteria: fatal; life threatening; requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect; other medically important serious event Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) are defined as adverse events possibly caused by talimogene laherparepvec, as assessed by the investigator.	From the first administration of talimogene laherparepvec up to 30 days after the last administration of talimogene laherparepvec; median duration of treatment was 23.1 weeks (range: 3 to 141 weeks).
