      Hi all! Just wanted to say that after all the struggles to find proper treatment in my country we managed to find a good trial here and mum finally started treatment today! She is in the triple combo Dab/Tram + PDR001 or Dab/Tram +placebo. We do not know what she is getting because it is double blinded but good thing is she is getting the BRAF inhibitors for sure. She is stage 3c unresectable. Hope she will get a durable response. Is anyone in the same trial? Best wishes to you all!

          I haven't seen anyone here note that they were on that trial, Tracy…but if they are hopefully they will chime in.  You are right…either way she will be getting a good BRAF/MEK combo.  You may already know…but for others…the PDR-001 is a new anti-PD-1 product (like Opdivo and Keytruda)….so that's pretty cool.  Here's a little link about it and your mom's trial: https://immuno-oncologynews.com/pdr001/  

          Here is a link to several reports about BRAF/MEK combined with a check point inhibitor:

          Don't know that any of that helps you very much.  Hope your mom responds well.  Yours, celeste
