Rhonada, Joe;

Any answer, perhaps from talking to GSK at SABC, whether herceptin use disqualifies one from participating in the TEACH trial of Tykerb in a nonmetastic, adjuvant setting? I would love to get in this trial, but from the website, it seems like you have to be Her2neu but NOT have used herceptin? I've called the phone no. for the trial (1-877-379-3718) but just get answering machine. Will also put a call into Dr. Minetta Liu at Georgetown who is listed as one of the researchers of the DC location of the trial, but would be grateful if anyone else has some info?

I am elgible for the Windber, PA vaccine trial, but don't want to start it, if a Tykerb trial were available. In that regard, am going to make a second post to see if anyone has insights on the peptide vs the DNA-based vaccine.

thanks,
Lynn in DC
