        Hi,

        I am new to this forum.  My mum has stage V (lg mass in abdominal cavity, lymph nodes).  IL-2 did not work.  She is exploring trials. Her current oncologist was about to start her on Ipi alone as they don't have any other trials right now that suit her.  We just want to make sure we're not excluding her from any trials by starting it, so this sequencing discussion is of interest.

        She has a meeting with Dr. Rosenberg's team to talk about ACT, and has been identified as a candidate for a trial at DFCI with PD-L1 and Ipi.  We heard that while she doesn't have brain mets and is otherwise healthy, this is a good time to try ACT, and that she can do Ipi afterwards, but that Ipi would exclude her from ACT.

        Thoughts welcome.

        Thanks.
