        Hi Lynn, my name in Janet and my husband has stage 4 metastatic melanoma. For the past year, he has been in a clinical trial at the Moffit cancer center with dr. Weber. The treatment was ipilmumab. It was working great until April of 2011. I am now looking to start the pd1 phase 1 trial hopefully starting on Monday. I wanted to know how it has been going for you on this trial. Are there any side effects? If so, what are they? Any information you have would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.
