Anyone know if any hospital starting the Expanded Access Program ( EPA ) for MK-3473 (Lambrolizumab/Pembrolizumab) is allowing melanoma patients to participate in the EPA without having taken Ipilimumab first?

  The EAP is only available to those patients who have progressed on Ipi (Yervoy) or if they are BRAF positive, a BRAF and/or MEK therapy.
