Study Type : | Observational |
Estimated Enrollment : | 920 participants |
Observational Model: | Cohort |
Time Perspective: | Prospective |
Official Title: | A Postmarketing Prospective Cohort Study of Melanoma Patients Treated With IMLYGIC® in Clinical Practice to Characterize Risk of Herpetic Infection Among Patients, Close Contacts, Health Care Providers & Long-term Safety in Treated Patients |
Actual Study Start Date : | August 10, 2017 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date : | August 28, 2024 |
Estimated Study Completion Date : | August 28, 2024 |

- Incidence Rate [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]Estimate the incidence rate of herpetic infection with detection of talimogene laherparepvec DNA among patients for up to 5 years after the first IMLYGIC dose.
- Herpectic Infection with T-VEC for Close Contacts and HCPs [ Time Frame: Through study completion, average of 5yrs. ]Count the number of herpetic infections with detection of talimogene laherparepvec DNA among close contacts and HCPs.
- Incidence of Herpetic Infection with TVEC in Patients during treatment [ Time Frame: Through treatment period, upto 1yr ]Estimate the incidence rate of herpetic infection with detection of talimogene laherparepvec DNA among patients during treatment with IMLYGIC.
- Incidence of Herpetic Infection with TVEC in Patients after treatment [ Time Frame: Through study completion, average of 5yrs. ]Estimate the incidence rate of herpetic infection with detection of talimogene laherparepvec DNA among patients after discontinuation of IMLYGIC.
- Incidence of HSV-1 DNA in Patients during Treatment [ Time Frame: Through treatment period, upto 1yr ]Estimate the incidence rate of herpetic infection with detection of wild-type HSV-1 DNA among patients during treatment with IMLYGIC.
- Incidence of HSV-1 DNA in Patients after Treatment [ Time Frame: Through study completion, average of 5yrs. ]Estimate the incidence rate of herpetic infection with detection of wild-type HSV-1 DNA among patients after discontinuation of IMLYGIC.
- Patient Demographics [ Time Frame: Through study completion, average of 5yrs. ]The following baseline variables will be recorded: sex, age, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status.
- Use of drug therapies [ Time Frame: Through study completion, average of 5yrs. ]Describe the use of IMLYGIC, other anti-cancer therapy, anti-herpetic therapy.
- Incidence of Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events in Patients [ Time Frame: Through study completion, average of 5yrs. ]Incidence of adverse events and serious adverse events during and after treatment with IMLYGIC
- Overall Survival [ Time Frame: Through study completion, average of 5yrs. ]Survival is defined by the time to death from the date of the first use of IMLYGIC.
