      Hi,

      I am new to this forum & I am so lucky I found you. Everyone is so helpful & informative.

      I am participating on a MERCK PD1 trial. I have been a completer responder for over 6+ months. I just had my routine MRI Brain & CT scans. My scans showed NO tumors in my body BUT my brain MRI showed a 7MM brain met of the posterior left frontal subcortical.

      Hi,

      I am participating on a MERCK PD1 trial. I have been a completer responder for over 6+ months. I just had my routine MRI Brain & CT scans. My scans showed NO tumors in my body BUT my brain MRI showed a 7MM brain met of the posterior left frontal subcortical.

      My doctor is waiting for Merck to decide if I am going to be kicked off the trial. I am not sure if other sponsors (e.g. BMS) let you radiate a brain lesion and then go back on the trial.

      I would sincerely appreciate any input about your experience with being on a trial and then getting a brain met. Were you able to stay on the clinical trial?? Did you radiate your brain lesion and the continue with the clinical trial? Who was the sponsor of your clinical trial?

      I realize that every clinical trials have different protocols but is there are general rule when it comes to getting a brain met while participating in a clincal trial??

      Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post and responding.
