        Jerry, thanks for posting.  The market certainly likes the news: "Shares of Merck & Co rose as much as 6 percent on Monday after the company filed the first part of an application to market its experimental drug, MK-3475, for advanced melanoma."

        Although not crystal clear, the wording of the article you posted suggests that the initial approval may be for those who have tried ipi first.

        To me, this also puts pressure on BMS to get nivo approved in 2014.
