?Perguntas?

I have many questions for Dr. Weber.....feel free to add yours....

When did your PD-1/vaccine trial begin?

How many patients are currently enrolled? How many do you plan to enroll?

What side effects are you seeing in your current patients?

What side effects do you expect to see as these and other patients continue the trial?

What positive results are you seeing currently?

What positive results do you expect and how do they compare to the results of your study of Ipi?

Why should I take these medications, rather than wait for Ipi as it is coming on the market in March?

What days are available for the infusion/vaccine therapy?

How long does the entire process take?

How long must/should I stay in your facility (in Tampa) after the treatment?

When do side effects begin....during the infusion? after the infusion? how long after the infusion? Are side effects worse at the beginning? Do they become worse as you progress through the doses? What is the treatment for side effects? Who pays for the treatment of side effects?

When do you expect the next scans? Who pays for those scans?

What treatment would you recommend for your wife?

What would you choose for yourself, if you had had melanoma for 7 years, with 2 skin lesions, a positive node, lung metastasis treated with a lobectomy, a probable brain met treated with stereotactic radiation, and 6 months later a melanoma tumor on your right tonsil removed 1 month ago?
