The efficacy data are very encouraging for a highly pre-treated patient group with advanced melanoma. The MITCI response rate is comparable to the 56% (10/18) response rate reported by Puzanov et al at ASCO 2015 for Yervoy combined with Amgen’s approved oncolytic virotherapy, Imlygic (T-Vec). We note that the Puzanov study was in patients who had not undergone any systemic therapy and included patients with less severe Stage IIIB disease.
