      Nan, 

      There is an anti-PD-1 trial at the Moffitt Center in Tampa and there's no OM exclusion for that one. Contact Donna.Gallenstein@moffitt.org. The trial code is MCC 15400. 

      Unfortunately, they require a certain immune type, which I did not have, so I have to find another one. I was speaking with Dr. Keith Flaherty at Mass General about trials and he lamented the fact that many trials exclude OM, and he said there's really no reason for it. I don't know what the solution is to this. I'm continuing to look for other anti-PD-1 trials and MEK trials. I see that you tried MEK. What was the result? I did Ipi this summer and didn't have the same success you did. If I get any more info on anti-PD-1 trials, I'll post them here. 

      take care,

      Todd
