Phase II vaccine trial...looking for info
My onc is the principal investigator for the phase II trial of GP2 or AE 37 in San Antonio. I know there are 16 sites across the US participating in the trial. This trial is from Col. Peoples and the Cancer Vaccine Development Program with the military.
My initial research tells me it is designed to determine ability to prevent Her 2 reoccurrence, immune response and safety in dosing. Has anyone out there participated in a vaccine trial? If so, are you currently in this one? What kind of side effects did you experience?
I feel led to participate for the sake of research into a cure, but want to hear your thoughts!
Thanks for any insights you may have!
Elizabeth
