Hello friends,
My husband has been receiving Keytruda every three weeks for 21 weeks with a shot of Peg once a week. His PET scan last week showed no new tumors and his existing tumors did not grow in size. Has anyone had an experience with a like treatment? We were told to give the trial more time. Any thoughts on response time or effectiveness?
God bless,
Jenine

Hi Jenine,
While regression is great. Stability ain't bad either!!! Here is a report out of 2016 ASCO as put together by Dr. Daud with a cool graph related to the question you ask….time frame to response….
However, this report is on pembrolizumab/keytruda alone…not combined with interferon…but perhaps you will still find it informative.
I wish you and your husband well. Celeste
