braf after zelboraf

Nahmi, here is a link to the MEK trials in Australia:
http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?term=melanoma+MEK+Inhibitor&recr=Open&cntry1=PA%3AAU

Your dad's oncologist is probably hesitant to recommend any new drug that hasn't been
approved by the TGA. As you may know, Yervoy has recently been approved here and the
oncologist should be able to tell you how your dad could have access to it.

Some other viable options could be IL-2 (interleukin-2), TIL treatment (adoptive cell
therapy) and Anti PD-1 treatment. However, these may be unavailable locally and some may
only be accessed through clinical trials.

Therefore, it is important to make definite plans for the next treatment if the current one
becomes ineffective.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Frank for posting that, not sure where to go next really. My parents don't want to even talk really about the next treatment until the braf fails. Very frustrating.

Nahmi, I think that you will need to research the treatments for your dad. This will need a lot of work, but I think that it is necessary.

The Net makes it easier to find out where various treatments are available. However, you will also have to contact various treatment centres by phone and/or email to get more info.

You would also need to ring his oncologist to talk about this. A second opinion could also be an idea.

As you might know, I am also located in Melbourne. However, I don't know if that helps at all.

Take care

Ok thanks, I will do some research. Im keen to find out about Antipd1 trial if there are any in Australia. I know Jim Stynes who being treated by my dad's oncologist is on this drug. From what I understand TIL requires you to be under the age of 60. I will ask the oncologist about this in 2 weeks. Thanks again.
