        Dan,

         Hi, my name is Lois Velardi, my husband also undergoes treatment at Moffitt.  We have been going since Jan 2012. My husband started on the trial for Zelboraf which stopped working after 9 months.  He was then placed on the ipi trial this past Jan. and like you nothing showed shrinkage after 4 doses.  They have now recommended the anti-PD1 trial. We are unsure of the what to do .  Your results are however reassuring.  The trial does have randomization with chemo. Is this the trial you are on?
