WHAT IMLYGIC IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Imlygic is used to treat adult patients with a type of skin cancer
called melanoma that has spread in the
skin or to the lymph nodes, when surgery is not an option.
The active ingredient of Imlygic is talimogene laherparepvec. This is
a weakened form of herpes
simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1), which is commonly called the cold sore
virus. To get Imlygic from
HSV-1, the virus has been changed so that it multiplies more
effectively in tumours than in normal
cells. This leads to destruction of infected tumour cells. This
medicine also works by helping your
immune system to recognise and destroy tumours throughout your body.
