        Hi,

        It seems you are new here since you joined on 4/3/11. So, let me say welcome to the forum no one wants to be a member of by choice.

        You may not be aware, but many here have been following this as it unfolded. It was FDA approved on 3/25/11. As the drug was earlier being called Ipilimumab or MDX-010, it is now marketed as Yervoy under Bristol-Myers Squibb.

        Here is the link:

        Melanoma treatment/cures still has a long way to go though. I hope and feel we are headed in the right direction.
