Summary data from the centralized pathology review of diagnostic biopsies and on-therapy biopsies

Timing Assessment Number Percentage of the evaluable samples
Diagnostic biopsies Biopsy not available 2 -
Biopsy not evaluable 2 -
Not confirmed to be desmoplastic melanoma 4 17%
Confirmed to be desmoplastic melanoma 19 83%
On-therapy biopsies Biopsy not available 12 -
Biopsy not evaluable 0 -
No pathological response 4 27%
Some areas of pathological response 4 27%
Pathological tumor response with no residual viable melanoma cells 7 46%

Biopsy not available: the biopsy sample was not provided for central review. Biopsy not evaluable: the provided biopsy sample did not contain tumor cells or areas that were consistent with a regressed tumor. No pathological response: indicates that there were only viable tumor cells and an absence of a treatment effect by pathological review. Some areas of pathological response: the biopsy had areas consistent with a pathological response, but there were other areas with viable tumor cells remaining. Entirely pathological tumor response (no viable tumor): the biopsy had no viable tumor cells, and the entire resection contained treatment effect with evidence of pathological response.
