I had heard they only try Keytruda if the PD-L1 level is greater than 50%. Is that not true?

@tats That is generally true, only with a higher PDL1 but as I said, they are grasping at straws and were using a very standard protocol to see if it would work. The Carboplatin, Alimpta, Keytruda mix worked but once the big dog on the block (Carboplatin) left the mix, it stopped working, so the Keytruda really wasn't effective because he had so little PDL1.
