A Phase 2 interventional study of TALIMOGENE LAHERPAREPVEC (TVEC) and Hypofractionated Radiotherapy in Melanoma, Merkel Cell Carcinoma and Other Solid Tumors, sponsored by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Completed at 3 sites in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-01-29.
Sponsored by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
The purpose of this phase II clinical study is to test the good and bad effects of T-VEC (talimogene laherparepvec) with or without hypofractionated radiotherapy on people with melanoma, Merkel cell carcinoma, or other solid tumors with skin metastasis.
135 studies on the registry are indexed under Carcinoma, Merkel Cell; 37 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 19 is below the median of 40 across 118 interventional studies indexed under Carcinoma, Merkel Cell.
Browse Carcinoma, Merkel Cell studies →Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center is the lead sponsor of 1,930 studies on the registry; 328 are open to participants now.
Of its 129 completed or terminated interventional studies of FDA-regulated products, 66 (51%) have results posted.

Cutaneous subcutaneous soft tissue, or superficial lymphatic metastasis that is amenable to injection and irradiation and > 10 mm in longest dimension
° Cutaneous metastasis in a region of previous radiation therapy is amenable to radiation therapy as part of this protocol if at least 6 months has elapsed since prior radiotherapy and the dose of radiotherapy previously administered did not exceed an equivalent dose of 60 Gy in 2 Gy equivalent fractions at the skin surface (using linear-quadratic modeling with alpha/beta=11.5)
Exclusion Criteria:
Receipt of another cancer therapy (targeted therapy, chemotherapy, investigational therapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy or surgery) which is yielding an overall response (by response criteria in this study)
° Patients with stable or progressing disease (as determined by at least 2 consecutive assessments at 6-week interval) can continue to receive the same therapy during treatment as part of this protocol
Active or chronic hepatitis B or C infection
° Previously infected, with evidence of immunity and no evidence of active hepatitis is not an exclusion criterion
Patients will receive 3 radiotherapy treatments (one treatment every 3-5 days) during weeks 3 and 4. The first treatment will occur 6 (+/- 2) hours after the Talimogene Laherparepvec administration at week 3.Talimogene Laherparepvec will be administered at weeks 0, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15. The first dose of Talimogene Laherparepvec will be 10\^6 plaque forming units (PFU)/mL, followed three weeks later by a dose of 10\^8 pfu/mL.
Drug: TALIMOGENE LAHERPAREPVEC (TVEC) · Radiation: Hypofractionated Radiotherapy
Patients will receive Talimogene Laherparepvec alone, as described above, without radiotherapy.
Drug: TALIMOGENE LAHERPAREPVEC (TVEC)
Best Response
Overall subject level response is defined as partial or complete (\>50% or greater decrease in largest lesion) by the modified World Health Organization (mWHO) criteria, and will include measurements of tumor size by CT component of PET/CT, and clinically by digital photography.
