    I asked my doc a few questions about Anti PD 1 trials -where they at, are the comparable etc  and here is his response…There are three sets of PD-1 trials: the BMS drug, a new drug from Vuragen in Israel, and a newer antibody from Merck. The latter two trials are being done in multiple centers around the world. No way to compare the drugs, since almost all of the patients have received the BMS antibodies.
