Subject: Anti-CTLA-4 blockage shortage.... Medarex and BMS
Importance: High

As a patient Melanoma stage IV. I have heard that there is a shortage on this monoclonal antibody for companionate use. I have watched people die because it is not available.

Please could you investigate and get back to me.

Best Regards,
