To Lolly and Others on the Uof W vaccine

I have been trying for over six months to get into the vaccine study at UofW but have been excluded because of 1) I am not HLA-A Pos. 2) I am on Herceptin and 3) I have had more than 2 recurrences. There is now one that I can be in if I qualify again as having stable disease (which I did a few months ago), can be on Herceptin and do not have to be HLA_A Pos.
It is DNA rather than Plasmid-based, I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong. But three DR.'s I respect and my own "intuition" told me to be careful of Phase I trials. I realize they are for safety of dosage. I do alot of thing (for cancer) but I pick the hills I fight on carefully. What do you think? I have worked hard for this state of health which is good--my husband likens it to living in a glass house---Have you gone into an early phase study?
thanks!
