CONCLUSIONS
OPTiM met it’s primary objective
Talimogene laherparepvec had a tolerable safety profile, consistent with
Ph 2
– The only grade 3/4 AE that occurred in >2% of patients was cellulitis
(2.1%)
Talimogene lahrparepvec significantly improved RR, CR & DRR vs GM-
CSF in patients with Stage IIIb-IV melanoma with no or limited visceral or
CNS involvement
As in Phase 2, effects were pronounced in patients without visceral
disease and/or who had not received prior systemic therapy
A trend toward improved OS was seen with talimogene laherparepvec at
interim analysis in the ITT population - Final OS is pending
Consistent with RR and DRR, OS effects were also pronounced in patients
without visceral disease and/or who had not received prior systemic
therapy
Talimogene laherparepvec provides a novel potential therapeutic
approach for patients with unresected Stage IIIb-IV melanoma, particularly
as a first line option and/or prior to the appearance of visceral disease
