Time frame
From randomization until the data cut-off date of 21 December 2012; median follow-up time was 20 months.

What was measured

Durable response rate was defined as the percentage of participants with a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) maintained continuously for at least 6 months from the time the objective response was first observed and initiating within 12 months of starting therapy as assessed by the Endpoint Assessment Committee (EAC). This reflects all new sites of disease as well as disease sites identified at baseline. Disease assessments were performed at the beginning of each treatment cycle in accordance with modified World Health Organization criteria. CR: Disappearance of all clinical evidence of tumor (both measurable and non-measurable but evaluable disease); 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 baseline.

Analysis population: Intent-to-treat population (all participants randomized to receive study treatment), excluding one participant who was randomized three times.

Groups in this outcome

GM-CSF

GM-CSF was administered at a dose of 125 μg/m²/day subcutaneously for 14 days in 28-day cycles for 24 weeks. Participants could continue treatment until clinically relevant disease progression, intolerability, withdrawal of consent, complete remission, or lack of response by 12 months, for a maximum of 18 months.

Talimogene Laherparepvec

Participants received talimogene laherparepvec on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle for 24 weeks. The initial dose was at a concentration of 10⁶ PFU/mL, injected into 1 or more skin, subcutaneous or nodal tumors. Subsequent doses began at least 3 weeks after the first dose and consisted of talimogene laherparepvec at a concentration of 10⁸ PFU/mL. Participants could continue treatment until clinically relevant disease progression, intolerability, withdrawal of consent, complete remission, lack of response by 12 months, or disappearance of all injectable lesions, for a maximum of 18 months.

    group Description
    The null hypothesis was that there was no difference in the durable response rate between the talimogene laherparepvec and control arms. Study success was defined as the rejection of this hypothesis such that talimogene laherparepvec was found to be superior to GM-CSF using the 2-sided Fisher's exact test, with a p-value of ≤ 0.0488.
