Clinical Trial- Tumor Vaccine Group, Seattle

Hi everyone! This is Dr. Devon Webster from the Tumor Vaccine Group at the University of Washington. I have met some of you wonderful women on our trials!

We still have some openings on trial 118, which is a peptide vaccine for women on Herceptin. I am attaching a flyer that has been approved by our Human Subjects Division for this trial.

We also have upcoming trials for patients who are NOT HLA-A2 positive. I will send you updates with attached postings once they are approved by Human Subjects. You can also check our website for updates: www.tumorvaccinegroup.org. Feel free to call Patty Fintak and ask questions about upcoming trials as well (206-543-6620).

Thank you so much for your support of our group and our trials! I have referred several of my patients to this website for information about trials for HER2+ women, and they are very appreciative of all your insights!

Sincerely, Dr. D

Hey Dr. D!!!
How nice to see you logged on! Oh, I just got back from a 2 week vacation, and I have been very remiss logging on to check on my buddies; then what a surprise to see your name! Thank you for sharing this information; I am sure it will help one of our sisters.
See you soon!

Dr. Devon Webster,
Sometime back you wrote about upcoming trials by Tumor Vaccine Group at the University of Washington for patients who are NOT HLA-A2 positive. I found a dHER2 trial outside USA called Safety and Immunogenicity Study of the New dHER2 Vaccine to Treat HER2-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer, (Clinical Trials.gov Identifier NCT00140738 by GlaxoSmithKLine)
The URL is:
http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct/show/NCT00140738;jsessionid=61EA362938EAD65BC5B716A044A 98B4F?order=47

Could you please let me know if the above are all related, or throw some light where it is held in USA?.
Regards,
Uma
