      I didn't see mention of this on the board, and the information was only recently added to clinicaltrials.gov, so I thought I would put this out there for anyone who might be interested…

      Roche is teaming up with Bristol-Myers Squibb in testing Yervoy AND Zelboraf to see if they are safe to be taken in conjunction with each other as well as to test if effectiveness and response time will improve when used as a combination.

      I thought this a highly interesting trial and wished we had had the time to wait for this one to open for Don to get on it, but we were told that even though the trial is slated to open in September, it would probably be November before testing sites would be ready to begin recruiting.

      The first three testing sites are going to be located in Boston, Los Angeles, and New York. I know that MGH will be one of the sites in Boston running this test.

      Here is the link for anyone interested in reading more about it: http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01400451?term=melanoma+boston&recr=Open&rank=23
