About this study
Official title: An Expanded Access Program - Real-world Data Collection for VO in Combination With Nivolumab in Patients With Advanced Melanoma That Has Progressed on an Anti-PD-1 Containing Treatment Regimen
The purpose of this EAP is to provide expanded access (i.e., before marketing authorization) to vusolimogene oderparepvec (VO; herein referred to as VO) plus standard-of-care (SOC), nivolumab, for eligible patients diagnosed with advanced melanoma, who, in their treating physician's opinion, could benefit from this treatment.
Read the detailed description
The objective of treating with VO is to directly reduce or eliminate tumors by lytic virus replication and to induce a systemic anti-tumor immune response leading to tumor immunity and durable clinical responses. Limited treatment options are available to those patients with advanced melanoma who have progressed while on an anti-PD-1 therapy regimen, and the duration of progression-free survival (PFS) is less than 6 months with overall survival (OS) being less than 3 years. The mechanism of VO complements that of anti-PD-1 therapy such that combining VO with an anti-PD-1 agent, such as nivolumab, will increase the number of tumor-reactive T cells (through the action of VO) and relieve CD8-T cell exhaustion (through the action of the anti-PD-1 therapy). Combining VO with nivolumab, is supported by evidence in syngeneic immune-competent murine models demonstrating an increased reduction in tumor volume compared with either VO or anti-PD-1 monotherapy.
