Which vaccine trial is this? I am looking into one at UAMS with Linda Hutchins. Here is some info from the letter... I will make a new post with the whole letter for those who are interested.

"Dr. Laura Hutchins, director of the Division of Hematology and Oncology here at UAMS, is principal investigator for the clinical trial. The first phase of the clinical trial will last four to six months. It will involve women with metastatic cancer only, who have relapsed after going into remission. Women participating in the study will receive five doses of the vaccine at the Cancer Institute's Medical Oncology Clinic. They will be immunized once a week for the first three weeks and again during the seventh and 19th weeks. The first phase is to monitor any side effects of the vaccine. "
