Response assessments are performed at Day 28, and then every three months. Patients with additional, injectable, visceral hepatic mUM disease may receive additional cycles of PV-10 after Day 28. Eligible patients may also receive standard of care immune checkpoint blockade during and after PV-10 treatment.
