Study Description
Our immune system has the ability to recognize and destroy cancer cells. Under certain circumstances (eg. mutation) these cancer cells are no longer destroyed. Immunotherapy is a treatment which aims to "mobilize" the patient's immune defenses against his disease, by restoring the ability of the immune system to act against cancer cells.Talimogen laherparepvec is a product that stimulates the production of cells specialized in destroying cancer cells after being injected directly into the tumor.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the positive and negative effects induced by the injection of this new treatment. To do this, initially, children with any type of solid tumors will receive injections of dose recalculated from the dose already known for treatment of adults.Then depending on the results, the doses are gradually reduced. The effectiveness of this treatment and the analysis of its side effects will be evaluated by observing the disease's evolution, the side effects and the duration of its effects.
Inclusion Criteria
- Children 2 to 20 years old with a recurrent solid tumor
- Subject must be a candidate for intralesional injection, defined as one or more of the following:

- multiple injectable lesions that in aggregate have a longest diameter of ≥ 10 mm
Multiple other inclusion and exclusion criteria could apply and will be reviewed by your treating team.
