      Hi all,

      My wife is taking Dabra/Trametinib (re-challenge after they worked for 5 months up to december) – now in combination with Keytruda. So far it seems the targeted therapy worked for the "new" brain mets (see earlier posts) but the immunotherapy itself doesn't seem to do much (5 infusions so far). 

      On Wednesday we'll get a new PET/CT scan and possibly move to Yervoy if the Keytruda didn't do enough.

      But I'm writing now because more has been published about immunotherapy plus targeted therapy.

      Kind regards,

      Rick

                Hey Rick,

                I think combo's are going to be the next big wave in melanoma treatment.  I suspect ASCO will be telling  us a lot about current results and upcoming plans.  Wishing you and your wife my best!!!  c
