This is interesting. They are not testing the vaccine, they are testing the mushroom extract, Polysaccharide-K (PSK). It is apparently the biggest-selling cancer med in Japan, and has its roots in traditional Chinese medicine. Like I said, that a mainstream vaccine-focused group is testing this is intriguing.

Here are a few links to info about PSK:

Google will find lots of other references, although most are rather old. It seems this ancient treatment is taking a long time to come to the attention of modern medicine.

Although it looks like the drug has a trade name, at least in Japan, there is no drug company sponsor of the trial. Sponsors are the UofW, NCI, and NCCAM.
