HER2 Support Group Forums - View Single Post - Which vaccine trial seems the most promising?

Hello Fern,

I don't know about the stage IV trials, but I think there are other ladies that have enrolled.

The Walter Reed AE37/GP2 trial is for prevention with primary breast cancer. I've been enrolled in my GP2 arm for 2 1/2 years, am almost 5 years out from breast cancer and still NED. In this trial everyone is exposed to the vaccine twice - but is blindly randomized for the remaining injections and boosters.
