NCI Trial CDR0000562261

Does anyone know anything about NCI trial CDR0000562261? Has anyone participated? The objective of this trial is:

To determine if the GP2 peptide/GM-CSF vaccine reduces the recurrence rate in HLA-A2-positive, HER2/neu-positive, node-positive, or high-risk node-negative breast cancer patients randomized to receive the vaccine versus the immunoadjuvant, sargramostim (GM-CSF), alone.
To determine if the AE37 peptide/GM-CSF vaccine reduces the recurrence rate in HLA-A2-negative, HER2/neu-positive, node-positive or high-risk node-negative breast cancer patients randomized to receive the vaccine versus the immunoadjuvant, GM-CSF, alone.

I am trying to be proactive. I finished 28 rads almost a week ago (ouch) and will finish Herceptin on 12/28/12.


I am attaching the link:

From: It's Not About the Hair:
"The hope for healing is not born out of a fear of death, but a love of life.This is a very good thing. When people love life more than they fear death, they come to treatment with open hands, open hearts, open eyes.When people fear death more than they love life, they are clinging and clutching and grasping."

I just finished my last booster shot in this clinical trial in June. SandraGA and ElizabethTX are also currently participating.
