            Hi,

            I’m new to the forum, thanks for posting, it’s really helpful to read whats going on. My husband was diagnosed in January 2011 with stage 4 melanoma. We’ve bee going to UCLA and have been participating in the BRAF study. The drug worked great for about 5 months then the demon cancer figured out a new pathway.

            A slot just opened up for the BRAF/MEK study. Can anyone tell me what the screening process is like? What tests and what kind of results are they looking for in order to qualify??

            Thanks,
            Tadams

                    Call UCLA, to make an appointment with Dr. Antoni Ribas 310-794-4955. My husband (stage iv) started the MEK/Braf combo a week and a half ago. Good results so far. I’m hoping it’s not temporary as well.

                    Prayers & Blessings,

                        Hi Jan,

                        Thanks for the info. It’s the combo at UCLA. He’s been on the BRAF for almost 5 months.

                        Thanks,
