Brief summary

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.

Detailed description

The study will explore the hypothesis that intratumoral CD8+ cell density at baseline correlates with objective response rate in adults with unresected stage IIIB to IVMIc melanoma treated with talimogene laherparepvec.

Odds Ratio of Baseline Intratumoral CD8+ Cell Density and Objective Response Rate

A univariate logistic regression model was performed to evaluate baseline log2(CD8+ cell density) as a predictor of objective response. Response was assessed according to the modified version of the World Health Organization (WHO) response criteria. Objective response rate (ORR) was defined as the percentage of participants with a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to the modified WHO criteria. The unadjusted odds ratio of log2(baseline intratumoral CD8+ cell density) for objective response rate is reported.

Time frame: Intratumoral CD8+ cell density: Baseline. Response: every 12 weeks until disease progression beyond 6 months of treatment or the start of new anticancer therapy; median time on follow-up at primary completion = 59 weeks (min 3 to max 116 weeks)

Population: Participants who received at least 1 dose of talimogene laherparepvec with non-missing baseline CD8+ cell density data. Data is available for 91 participants who had data available for analysis at the time of primary completion (26 June 2017).

Hazards Ratio of Baseline Intratumoral CD8+ Cell Density and Duration of Response

A Cox proportional hazards regression model was performed to evaluate baseline log2(CD8+ cell density) as a predictor of duration of response. Response was assessed according to the modified version of the World Health Organization (WHO) response criteria. Duration of response (DOR) is defined as the longest individual period from entering an objective response (CR/PR) to the first documented evidence of the participant no longer meeting the criteria for being in the response (i.e. an overall response of either stable disease \[SD\] as compared with baseline or progressive disease \[PD\]). The unadjusted hazard ratio of log2(baseline intratumoral CD8+ cell density) for duration of response is reported.

Time frame: Intratumoral CD8+ cell density: Baseline. Response: every 12 weeks until disease progression beyond 6 months of treatment or the start of new anticancer therapy; median time on follow-up: PC: 59 weeks (3 to 116 weeks); FA: 108 weeks (2.7 to 245.6 weeks)

Population: Participants who received at least 1 dose of talimogene laherparepvec with an objective response at the time of primary completion or final analysis, and with baseline CD8+ cell density data.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events

The severity of each adverse event (AE) was assessed according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 3.0 grading scale, where 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 Treatment-related adverse events (TRAE) were those assessed by the investigator as possibly related to talimogene laherparepvec.

Time frame: From first dose through 30 days after last dose of talimogene laherparepvec; median duration of treatment was 25.143 weeks (range 0.14 to 241.43 weeks)

Population: Participants who received at least 1 dose of talimogene laherparepvec.

Objective Response Rate

Objective Response rate is defined as the percentage of participants with either a CR or PR based on Modified WHO Response Criteria. CR: Complete disappearance of all index lesions, all non-index lesions, and any new tumors which might have appeared. Any residual cutaneous or subcutaneous index lesions must be documented by representative biopsy to not contain viable tumor. PR: Disappearance of all index lesions with persistence of one or more non-index tumor(s), or, 50% or greater reduction in the 2 largest perpendicular diameters (SPD) of all index lesions as compared to baseline, and disappearance or persistence of non-index lesions.

Time frame: Response was assessed every 12 weeks until PD beyond 6 months of treatment or the start of new anticancer therapy; median time on follow-up at time of primary completion: 59 weeks (3 to 116 weeks); final analysis: 108 weeks (2.7 to 245.6 weeks)

Population: All participants who received at least 1 dose of talimogene laherparepvec.

Odds Ratio of Baseline Intratumoral CD8+ Cell Density and Durable Response Rate

A univariate logistic regression model was performed to evaluate baseline log2(CD8+ cell density) as a predictor of durable response. Response was assessed according to the modified version of the World Health Organization (WHO) response criteria. Durable response rate (DRR) was defined as the percentage of participants with an objective response lasting continuously for 6 months and starting any time within 12 months of initiating therapy. The unadjusted odds ratio of log2(baseline intratumoral CD8+ cell density) for durable response rate is reported. Primary completion is defined as PC and final analysis is defined as FA.

Time frame: Intratumoral CD8+ cell density: Baseline. Response: every 12 weeks until disease progression beyond 6 months of treatment or the start of new anticancer therapy; median time on follow-up: PC: 59 weeks (3 to 116 weeks); FA: 108 weeks (2.7 to 245.6)

Population: Participants who received at least 1 dose of talimogene laherparepvec with non-missing baseline CD8+ cell density data. Data is available for 91 participants who had data available for analysis at the time of primary completion (26 June 2017). Data is also presented for 93 participants who had data available at final analysis (25 December 2020).

Odds Ratio of Change From Baseline in Intratumoral CD8+ Cell Density and Durable Response Rate

A univariate logistic regression model was performed to evaluate change from baseline to week 6 in log2(CD8+ cell density) in uninjected lesions as a predictor of durable response. Response was assessed according to the modified version of the World Health Organization (WHO) response criteria. Durable response rate (DRR) was defined as the percentage of participants with an objective response lasting continuously for 6 months and starting any time within 12 months of initiating therapy. The unadjusted odds ratio of log2(change from baseline in intratumoral CD8+ cell density) for durable response rate is reported. Intratumoral CD8+ Cell density has been shortened to CD8+ cell density in the time frame due to character limit. Primary completion is defined as PC and final analysis is defined as FA.

Time frame: CD8+ cell density: Baseline & Week 6. Response: every 12 weeks until disease progression beyond 6 months of treatment or the start of new anticancer therapy; median time on follow-up: PC: 59 weeks (3 to 116 weeks); FA: 108 weeks (2.7 to 245.6 weeks)

Population: Participants who received at least 1 dose of talimogene laherparepvec with baseline and week 6 CD8+ cell density data in uninjected lesions. Data is available for 59 participants who had data available for analysis at the time of primary completion (26 June 2017).

Time to Treatment Failure

Time to treatment failure (TTF) was calculated from first dosing until one or more of the following: (1) clinically relevant disease progression (PDr); (2) death from any cause; (3) non clinically relevant disease progression (PDn) associated with a requirement for alternative therapy as the reason for ending treatment or start of new anti-cancer therapy. Participants with no event were censored at their last evaluable tumor assessment.

Time frame: From first dose of study drug until primary completion date of 26 June 2017, or end of follow-up; median time on follow-up at primary completion was 59 weeks (3 to 116 weeks); final analysis was 108 weeks (2.7 to 245.6 weeks)
