Thank you everyone for your responses. I believe the issue is his brain mets have been unstable so that is why he doesn't qualify. Dr. Hodi and his team have tried to help him get access to the drug but looks like Merck will not approve him to receive it under EAP. Now we just have to pray for a miracle or that Merck changes their mind.

Can I ask how many brain mets did you have? My brother has multiple brain mets (which they said Zelboraf isn't working anymore). They said since Zelboraf and WBR didn't work there wasn't anything else they could. They literally sent us home on 3/20 with no other option. This combo wasn't even brought up to us. He had been on Zelboraf for 7 months with regression and little to no new growth and then BAM this. Any insight you have would be extremely helpful!
