Krisvell,

I only found 2 vaccine trials that I qualified for (there might have been more, but I didn't find them).

I didn't read the Mayo clinic information closely enough to see I had to be enrolled within 3 months after primary treatment.

The Walter Reed was within 6 months after primary treatment. One of the principle investigators for the trial works at Balboa NMCSD where I am a patient. They tried to obtain approval for the trial at my location, but didn't go through IRB in time and I had to fly to another location to participate.

Mayo clinic is offering a vaccine that works with something other than HER2. The Walter Reed trial is a phase II for GP2(HLA-A2+) and AE37(HLA-A2-). I am the human lab rat that will show whether or not the vaccines are effective, lol.

I asked my oncologist to have my blood tested to see if I was HLA-A2+. From the posts on this website I had gotten the impression that if I was HLA-A2- that a HER2 vaccine wasn't available for me.

My advice is to find all the trials that you might qualify for and obtain as much information as you can. Call folks up who are responsible for the enrollment and start asking questions now.

I drug my feet and almost missed being enrolled.
