Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

infection within 14 days prior to dosing.
6. With active significant herpetic infections or prior complications of HSV-1 infection
(eg, herpetic keratitis or encephalitis).Note: Patients with sporadic cold sores may
be enrolled as long as no active cold sores are present at the time of Day 1
7. Active or history of central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous
meningitis.
8. Prior malignancy active within the previous 3 years, except for locally curable
cancers that have apparently been cured, such as basal or squamous cell skin cancer,
superficial bladder cancer, or carcinoma in situ of the prostate, cervix, or breast.
9. Macroscopic intravascular invasion into any large blood vessel such as the main portal
vein, hepatic vein, pulmonary arteries or veins, aorta, or vena cava.
10. Had a significant bleeding event within the last 12 months that places the patient at
unjustifiable risk for bleeding from deep intratumoral injection procedures based on
Investigator assessment or interventional radiologist assessment.
11. History of significant cardiac vascular disease including myocarditis or congestive
heart failure (defined as New York Heart Association Functional Classification III or

above) that, in the opinion of the Investigator or the Medical Monitor, would pose a
risk to patient safety or interfere with the study evaluation, procedures, or
completion.
14. History or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that
might confound the results of the study, interfere with the patient's participation
for the full duration of the study, or is not in the best interest of the patient to
participate, in the opinion of the treating Investigator
15. Active, known, or suspected autoimmune disease such as autoimmune thyroiditis and
colitis requiring systemic immunomodulatory treatment. Note: Patients with diabetes
mellitus, dysthyroidism without an autoimmune mechanism, and rheumatoid arthritis that

last dose of the previous investigational agent.

Inhaled or topical steroids, and adrenal replacement steroid dose are permitted in the
absence of active autoimmune disease.
Note: Patients who require a brief course (≤ 7 days) of corticosteroids (e.g., as
prophylaxis for imaging studies due to hypersensitivity to contrast agents) are not
excluded. Physiologic replacement doses of systemic corticosteroids are permitted,
only if the dose does not exceed 10 mg/day prednisone equivalent.
21. Conditions in which anticoagulant therapies cannot be safely stopped in the
periprocedural period or patients on coumadin with a target INR > 2.5 or that cannot be

22. Treatment with botanical preparations (eg, herbal supplements or traditional Chinese
medicines) intended for general health support or to treat the disease under study
within 2 weeks prior to treatment.
23. Prior organ transplantation including allogenic stem-cell transplantation.
24. Major surgery ≤ 28 days prior to starting bevacizumab or anticipated major surgery
while on study. Note: If a patient received major surgery, they must have recovered

based on Investigator's assessment or surgeon's assessment, before starting
bevacizumab.
25. History of life-threatening toxicity related to prior immune therapy (e.g., anti-CTLA-4
or anti-PD-1/PD-L1 treatment or any other antibody or drug specifically targeting
T-cell co-stimulation or immune checkpoint pathways [e.g., CD40, 4-1BB]) except those
that are unlikely to recur or are expected to be manageable with standard
countermeasures (eg, hormone replacement after adrenal crisis). Individual cases
should be discussed with a Medical Monitor if needed.
26. Presence of liver tumors that are estimated to invade more than one-third of the
liver.
27. Prior chemoembolization, radioembolization, or other locoregional liver-directed
procedures to the lesion(s)selected for intratumoral injection.
Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria may apply.
