*IMLYGIC® is the first and only FDA-approved2 oncolytic viral therapy designed to replicate in cancer cells, leading to oncolysis, whereby the release of tumor-derived antigens, virally derived GM-CSF, and replicated IMLYGIC® may promote an antitumor immune response.1 The exact mechanism of action is unknown.1
See how IMLYGIC® is differentDRR: defined as the percent of patients with a CR or PR maintained continuously for a minimum of 6 months1; Complete response (CR): disappearance of all evidence of tumor5,6; Partial response (PR): ≥ 50% reduction in the sum of the products of the perpendicular diameters of all measurable tumors at the time of assessment, as compared to baseline5,6; Tumor responses were determined using modified WHO criteria by a blinded, independent Endpoint Assessment Committee (EAC)5,6; GM-CSF = granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor.
Patients with stage IIIB, IIIC, or IV melanoma that was not considered to be surgically resectable experienced ongoing* and clinically meaningful responses with IMLYGIC®.1,5,7
Administer IMLYGIC® by intralesional injection into cutaneous, subcutaneous, and nodal lesions that are visible, palpable, or detectable by ultrasound guidance; do not administer intravenously.1

INDICATION
IMLYGIC® is a genetically modified oncolytic viral therapy indicated for the local treatment of unresectable cutaneous, subcutaneous, and nodal lesions in patients with melanoma recurrent after initial surgery.
Limitations of use: IMLYGIC® has not been shown to improve overall survival or have an effect on visceral metastases.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Do not administer IMLYGIC® to immunocompromised patients, including those with a history of primary or acquired immunodeficient states, leukemia, lymphoma, AIDS or other clinical manifestations of infection with human immunodeficiency viruses, and those on immunosuppressive therapy, due to the risk of life-threatening disseminated herpetic infection.
Do not administer IMLYGIC® to pregnant patients.
Accidental exposure to IMLYGIC® may lead to transmission of IMLYGIC® and herpetic infection, including during preparation and administration. Health care providers, close contacts, pregnant women, and newborns should
