Locky’s Dad Is Nick Auden, the dad of three little kids: Lachlan aka Locky, Hayley, & Evan. He keeps surviving against all odds in his battle against Stage 4 Melanoma. Nick is determined to be a survival case study for other advanced melanoma fighters. But he needs access to a trial drug to beat this disease – for Locky, Hayley, and Evan to keep their dad. Join us and help Nick win this battle.
The new anti-PD-1 (“PD-1″) wonderdrug is showing remarkable results for patients with Stage 4 melanoma. Up until now, Stage 4 melanoma has largely been incurable. Join us in asking Merck and Bristol-Myers Squibb to give Nick access to the new breakthrough PD-1 drug.
The people of Merck and Bristol-Myers Squibb are working hard to get their PD-1 drugs approved, but they may not achieve PD-1 commercial availability for another 12-18 months. Nick cannot wait that long. He needs the PD-1 drug now.
Although Nick qualified for a Merck PD-1 trial in July, a medical complication arose and excluded him from the trial. His best chance now is to gain access to PD-1 on a compassionate basis. Merck and Bristol-Myers Squibb have the power to give Nick PD-1 on a compassionate basis. Help us tell Merck and Bristol-Myers Squibb to give Nick the PD-1 drug.
What can you do?
Please join us in asking Merck and Bristol-Myers Squibb to provide Nick compassionate access to PD-1 – access to a chance to fight for a full life with his wife Amy, Locky, Hayley, and Evan.
