Hi everyone,
Well, ended Nivo trial in June because of side effects and two small spots showing up in the lung. Subsequent follow up CT scans in August showed significant shrinkage; PET scan showed no uptake. Unfortunatly, CT scans last week showed significant growth of the lung nodules and a new spot on the liver.
Doctors have recommended a low dose IPI/Pembro trial so I was wondering if any of you have had experience with the combo. Looking to find out what to expect. Plan is to start the trial this Tuesday.
Any other thoughts are very welcomed also.
Thanks

Hi Juan,
ipi/ pembro sounds good. Pembro as sole agent seems to have marginally better results than nivo.- both are PD1 drugs. Ipi with a PD1 gets good response rates but higher side effects than either drug on its own.
Are we talking ipi 1mg per kilo or 3 mg per kilo ? original trials had 10mg kilo but 3 now seems to be standard-? Would expect side effects to miiror ipi nivo combo.
Good Luck
