PV-10 Intralesional Injection vs Systemic Chemotherapy or Oncolytic Viral Therapy for Treatment of Locally Advanced Cutaneous Melanoma

This is an international multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial (RCT) of
single-agent intralesional PV-10 versus systemic chemotherapy or intralesional oncolytic
viral therapy to assess treatment of locally advanced cutaneous melanoma in patients who (1)
are not candidates for targeted therapy and (2) are not candidates for an immune checkpoint
inhibitor. Subjects in the comparator arm will receive the Investigator's choice of
dacarbazine (DTIC), temozolomide (TMZ) or intralesional talimogene laherparepvec as
determined by Investigator preference and standard of care in the Investigator's country or
region. Effectiveness will be assessed by comparison of progression-free survival (PFS)
between all intent-to-treat (ITT) subjects in the two study treatment arms.

Subjects will be randomized using a 2:1 treatment allocation (i.e. two-thirds of the subjects
will receive PV-10).

Subjects in the comparator arm who have completed at least 1 cycle of study treatment and who
meet the study protocol definition of disease progression but do not have evidence of
visceral metastases will be eligible to enter the crossover portion of the study and receive
PV-10. Subjects crossing over must meet all study inclusion and exclusion criteria for
clinical laboratories, thyroid function, concurrent or intercurrent illness and pregnancy at
the time of crossover.

Assessment of progression will be performed by an Independent Review Committee (IRC) based on
Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) ver. 1.1 criteria. Events signaling
progression include increase in size and/or number of lesions, distant or nodal disease
progression, or death. All secondary endpoints involving disease response and progression
will be based on the IRC determination.

An interim assessment of efficacy and safety will be performed by the IRC when 50% of the
events required for the primary endpoint have occurred.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age 18 years or older, male or female

2. Histologically or cytologically confirmed melanoma

3. Recurrent, satellite or in-transit locally advanced cutaneous or subcutaneous melanoma
metastases (i.e., AJCC Stage IIIB, IIIC or Stage IV M1a with no active nodal
metastases)

4. At least 1 measurable Target Lesion that can be accurately measured by calipers or
computed tomography (CT) consisting of:

- at least one cutaneous lesion (each lesion ≥ 10 mm in longest diameter or up to 5
lesions having a sum of longest diameters ≥ 10 mm); and/or

- at least one subcutaneous lesion (each lesion ≥ 10 mm in longest diameter by CT);

- where Target Lesions should be at least 10 mm from any other lesion

5. No lesion > 50 mm in longest diameter; and no more than 50 lesions

6. Calculated required PV-10 dose ≤ 15 mL (based on total tumor burden)

7. Performance Status: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0-2

8. Not a candidate for treatment with an immune checkpoint inhibitor (e.g., failed or did
not tolerate prior therapy, or due to co-morbidities, pre-existing autoimmune disease,
drug unavailability or standard of care)

9. Not a candidate for targeted therapy with BRAF or combined BRAF/MEK inhibitors (e.g.,
failed or did not tolerate prior therapy, BRAF V600 wild-type or due to drug
unavailability or standard of care)

10. Clinical Laboratories:

- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 10^9/L and platelet count ≥100 x 10^9/L

- Creatinine ≤ 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN)

- Estimated creatinine clearance (CrCl) or estimated glomerular filtration rate
(eGFR) ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m2

- Total bilirubin ≤ 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN)

- Aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase
(ALP) ≤ 5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN)

- Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) ≤ 2 times the upper limit of normal (ULN).

11. Thyroid function abnormality ≤ Grade 2

12. Candidate for at least one comparator drug:

- Subjects must be candidates for at least one of the designated comparator drugs

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Presence or history of visceral melanoma metastasis

2. Presence of active nodal metastases (e.g., radiologic or clinical evidence of current
nodal disease)

3. Presence of more than 50 melanoma lesions

4. Radiation therapy to any Study Lesion within 6 weeks of initial study treatment.

5. Chemotherapy or other systemic cancer therapy within 4 weeks of initial study
treatment (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin), or regional chemotherapy (limb
infusion or perfusion) within 12 weeks of initial study treatment

6. Immunotherapy for cancer within 4 weeks of initial study treatment

7. Local treatment (e.g., surgery, cryotherapy, laser ablation) to any Study Lesion
within 4 weeks of initial study treatment

8. Anti-tumor vaccine therapy within 6 weeks of initial study treatment.

9. Investigational agents within 4 weeks of initial study treatment.

10. Concurrent or Intercurrent Illness:

- Impaired wound healing or other extremity complications due to diabetes mellitus
in subjects whose Study Lesions are located in an extremity

- Severe peripheral vascular disease in subjects whose Study Lesions are located in
an extremity

- Significant concurrent or intercurrent illness, psychiatric disorders, or alcohol
or chemical dependence that would, in the opinion of the Investigator, compromise
the subject's safety or compliance or interfere with interpretation of study
results.

- Uncontrolled thyroid disease or cystic fibrosis

- Clinically significant acute or unstable cardiovascular, cerebrovascular
(stroke), renal, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, immunological, endocrine, or
central nervous system disorders

11. Pregnancy:

- Female subjects who are pregnant or lactating

- Female subjects who have positive serum pregnancy test taken within 14 days of
study treatment

- Female subjects of child-bearing potential who are unwilling to use highly
effective contraception (e.g., combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) or
progestogen-only hormonal contraceptives, intrauterine devices, bilateral tubal
ligation, vasectomized partner, sexual abstinence or equivalent measures) for the
duration of study treatment

12. Contraindication for all comparators:

- Subjects with contraindications to all of the designated comparator drugs
