A Phase 1 Multi-center Open-label Dose De-escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Talimogene Laherparepvec in Pediatric Subjects with Advanced Non-Central Nervous System Tumors That are Amenable to Direct Injection
Investigating the Safety of Intralesional Investigational Medication in Children with Advanced Growths
Brief description of study.
This is a phase 1 study to evaluate the safety of intralesional talimogene laherparepvec administration in pediatric subjects with advanced non-CNS tumors that are amenable to direct injection.
Detailed description of study
This is a phase 1, multicenter, open-label study of talimogene laherparepvec in pediatric subjects with advanced non-CNS tumors that are amenable to direct injection in the clinical setting.

This study investigates the safety of an investigational medication given directly into tumors in children with advanced solid tumors outside the brain. These tumors must be ones that can be directly injected. The purpose is to understand how the body responds to this treatment and to ensure it is safe for children.
Participants will receive the investigational medication through injections directly into their tumors. This study will help researchers learn more about how the medication works in the body and if there are any side effects. The medication is given in a clinical setting where doctors can monitor the participants closely.
- Who can participate: Children with advanced solid tumors outside the brain and spinal cord that have returned after standard treatment or have no other standard treatment available can participate. They must have a life expectancy of more than 4 months and be able to receive injections directly into their growths.
- Study details: Participants will receive injections of the investigational medication directly into their growths. The study will monitor their response to the treatment and any side effects experienced.
