Does anyone know about this drug? Some how a new immunotherapy flew RIGHT under my nose.. they are doing clinical trials with Taf/Mek right now. Available in 7 locations. Excepts patients that are wild type as well. If anyone ever comes across new treatments please share. I’m sure all of us would appreciate it!

Love to you all xoxo

I have never heard of this. Thanks for the info. Mark has his PET Scan. & Brain MRI this coming Wednesday, and I will ask his oncologist about it.

I would like to know too.

Yes please! Gosh marks scans and Ryan’s scans are so close together all the time. Ryan has scans on Thursday! Let us know how the scan looks and any info you can get

[SGHSweethearts in reply to kellyOd]

I will for sure let you know

Kelly,

Marks scans came back good. It is a Miracle that 2 1/2 yrs later he is still NED. How were Ryan’s scans?

I asked Marks Oncologist about the Spartalizumab, he felt it was about the same as everything still out there to date.

They asked Mark to join another study which of course he agreed to. They are testing things on his blood already and now on his tissue to see what new drugs and treatments could work for other melanoma patients since he has been what even his oncologist calls a Miracle thus far. A super responder.

I pray that you got some good news on Ryan’s scans, and he is doing ok, or better

That is remarkable. I am so happy for you guys ❤️ We were supposed to find out Friday, but the person who “read” and “interpreted” the scan compared it to a scan from May of 2019. Which is not his latest scan before this one. So nothing would make sense report wise. So we have to wait until Monday to get the new one. Will let you know as soon as I know! That’s amazing he is continuing to enter studies! It will help tremendously. So so so so happy for you all!
