‡Patient was taken off trial due to lack of clinical benefit as determined by the PI and started on additional therapy prior to 4-week confirmation of response.

§After PVSRIPO, patient 1 received four cycles ipilimumab and nivolumab followed by 7 months of maintenance nivolumab; after maintenance cycle 2 of nivolumab, biopsy of two cutaneous lesions showed no viable tumor. Patient 1 has persistent disease in the lymph node basin that was not biopsied but remains stable; all cutaneous/subcutaneous lesions also remain stable.

¶Patient deemed to have had inadequate exposure to determine the type of anti-PD-1 resistance, due to rapid disease progression.

**Confirmation of the irPR was done at 3 weeks instead of 4 weeks.

††Although some pigmented lesions remained, biopsy of injected and non-injected lesions showed no viable melanoma, consistent with pCR.
