Inclusion criteria
✓.Patients must be able to complete an MRI of the head with contrast. 5.For women of childbearing potential only, a negative urine or serum pregnancy test is required at screening. Women must agree to notify investigator immediately if they become pregnant at any time during the trial period.
✓.Men and women of childbearing potential must be willing to employ adequate contraception throughout the study and for men for up to 6 months from administration of virus. Birth control that is acceptable to use in this study:
✓.Patients must be able and willing to provide informed consent. A legally authorized representative (LAR) may provide consent if the potential subject lacks the capacity to provide consent themselves. Patient assent will be sought where feasible in this situation.
✓.- For patients enrolled in Groups A and B, patients must be relapsed or refractory to standard of care therapy. Additionally, patients must continue with immunotherapy while undergoing oncolytic viral treatment at the discretion of the medical oncologist. 9. Patients enrolled in Group A or Group B must be on one of the following FDA approved immunotherapy agents: Ipilimumab, Nivolumab, Pembrolizumab, Relatlimab.
✓. Patients must have radiographic evidence of stable extracranial disease or no evidence of extracranial disease on current immunotherapy regimen based on RECIST v1.1 criteria.
✓. Patients must have between one and five brain metastases secondary to intracranial disease progression, identified on the screening MRI, from histologically confirmed metastatic melanoma. At least one of those lesions must be untreated, be suitable for accurate repeated measurements and have a tumor diameter of either 1.0-3.5cm (Group A- Arm 1) or 1.0-2.0cm (Group A- Arm 2) on the screening magnetic resonance imaging \[MRI\]) in at least one dimension. One of those lesions will be designated as the index lesion and planned for stereotactic intraoperative biopsy to ensure viable tumor tissue and oncolytic viral administration. The other four may be newly diagnosed, stable or recurrent.

Timeframe: Through study completion; an average of 1 year
. All intracranial metastases (the index lesion, and the non-index lesions, as defined below) must be located \>5 mm from the optic chiasm and outside the brainstem.
✓. The brain metastases must be an independently verified measurable brain metastasis in accordance with the mRECIST (Appendix 1) by Neuro Radiology.
Exclusion criteria
✕. Patients with \>5 diagnosed intracranial metastases on screening MRI
✕. Patients who received prior WBRT or SRT for brain metastases within 2 days of study treatment initiation
✕. Patients with symptomatic intracranial metastases
✕. Patients who received high dose corticosteroids defined as dexamethasone greater than 2mg per day within 7 days of initiating therapy. However, if they have been on a stable dose of 2 mg or less per day for 7 days they can be enrolled.
✕. Patients with suspected or confirmed leptomeningeal disease defined as radiographic evidence by MRI of leptomeningeal involvement in addition to positive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytology
✕. Serum lactate dehydrogenase ≥1.5x upper limit of normal
