        Jerry, thanks for posting this presentation. I'm looking forward to seeing this reach trial for melanoma, and hearing more on outcomes from these anti-PD1 melanoma trials.

            Craig is my Melanoma Specialist Surgeon and is very much into reseaarch.  He is a great person a well as an extremely knowledgeable researcher.  He  and his quick actions on my behalf in the past is one of the main resons I am still here.  The entire UVA staff has been amazing.  His vacine work has required HLAA201 so neither ne nor I qualified for those trials.  I have emailed him for more info regarding the PD-1 work and my c-kit status.

                          I have been on MDX 1106 ( anti PD 1) over a year now. Did 2  12 week trials and it and 6 peptideswere used. The I have done it alone as a booster once every 3 months…did 3 boosters so far.   My thyroid is basically blown from the trial but other than that I don't have any other side effects…other than being very tired….and that could be from the blown thyroid…It's not the worst trade one can make for being Stage 4  and NED…but thought I would share my side effect from the  Anti PD 1!

                              PS  as part of the trial I have to do the booster of MDX 1106 for 2 years…and Dr Weber says if I remain NED I may want to consider staying on it indefinately.

                                Lynn, Do you know if you are HLA-A201?

                                I am wondering if they have tied PD-1 to HLA in anyway so far?  (I am not HLA-A)

                                  I am going to e-mail Dr W tonight and ask him about the antibodies for anti pd 1.

                                  My trial is called  Phase I Study of Anti-PD-1 Human Monoclonal Antibody MDX-1106 and Vaccine Therapy Comprising gp100:209-217(210M) Peptide, MART-1:26-35(27L) Peptide, gp100:280-288(288V) Peptide, NY-ESO-1 Peptide, and Montanide ISA 51 VG in Patients With Resected Stage IV Melanoma

                                  I am not sure if it was  for the anti-pd-1 or for the peptides, but I had to have one of the following  antibodies : HMB 45 for gp 100, NY-ESO-1, and /or MART-1 and I had to have  the  A0201.

                                  My highs are A 0101, A0201, B 0801, B 04492, Cw 0501, Cw 0701,

                                  I have Mart-1(Melan A)  and HMB 45 ( gp 100) I was negative for NY ESO-1.

                                   

                                  They are aslo running a sister trial with same components for unresected   however exclusion criteria is different. My trial  said : No prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PDL-2, or anti-CTLA-4 antibody (or any other antibody targeting T-cell costimulation pathways).

                                   

                                  This  sister trial allows prior use of IPI in 4th and 5th cohort  and acccepts  Stage III and Stage 4

                                      I am going to e-mail Dr W tonight and ask him about the antibodies for anti pd 1.

                                      My trial is called  Phase I Study of Anti-PD-1 Human Monoclonal Antibody MDX-1106 and Vaccine Therapy Comprising gp100:209-217(210M) Peptide, MART-1:26-35(27L) Peptide, gp100:280-288(288V) Peptide, NY-ESO-1 Peptide, and Montanide ISA 51 VG in Patients With Resected Stage IV Melanoma

                                      I am not sure if it was  for the anti-pd-1 or for the peptides, but I had to have one of the following  antibodies : HMB 45 for gp 100, NY-ESO-1, and /or MART-1 and I had to have  the  A0201.

                                      My highs are A 0101, A0201, B 0801, B 04492, Cw 0501, Cw 0701,

                                      I have Mart-1(Melan A)  and HMB 45 ( gp 100) I was negative for NY ESO-1.

                                       

                                      They are aslo running a sister trial with same components for unresected   however exclusion criteria is different. My trial  said : No prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PDL-2, or anti-CTLA-4 antibody (or any other antibody targeting T-cell costimulation pathways).

                                       

                                      This  sister trial allows prior use of IPI in 4th and 5th cohort  and acccepts  Stage III and Stage 4

                                      Phase I Pilot Study of Peptide Vaccine Comprising gp100:209-217(210M), MART-1:26-35(27L), gp100:280-288(288V), and NY-ESO-1 Emulsified in Montanide ISA 51 VG and Anti-PD-1 Human Monoclonal Antibody MDX-1106 in Patients With Unresectable Stage III or IV Melanoma

                                        Lynn, Do you know if you are HLA-A201?

                                        I am wondering if they have tied PD-1 to HLA in anyway so far?  (I am not HLA-A)

                                            PS  as part of the trial I have to do the booster of MDX 1106 for 2 years…and Dr Weber says if I remain NED I may want to consider staying on it indefinately.

                                              I have been on MDX 1106 ( anti PD 1) over a year now. Did 2  12 week trials and it and 6 peptideswere used. The I have done it alone as a booster once every 3 months…did 3 boosters so far.   My thyroid is basically blown from the trial but other than that I don't have any other side effects…other than being very tired….and that could be from the blown thyroid…It's not the worst trade one can make for being Stage 4  and NED…but thought I would share my side effect from the  Anti PD 1!
