Phase II Trials Planned for Cancer Vaccine

I believe that this is the vaccine which is under trials at the Windber Medical Center and Walter Reed Hospital

Joe - is there any info on how to get into these trials? I am 90 minutes from Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN but can't seem to get any info at this point. A number of postings ago Eric showed that the U of W Seattle trial and the Mayo work were collaborative. It appears that the Vaccine is given concurrently with Herceptin so timing is essential. I would even travel to Seattle if I had to, but if Mayo is involved all the better.

Thank you, and thank you for this forum. I am on concurrent Herceptin and Taxol right on schedule because of this message board and what I learned from it. From the time I found out from you about the breaking news on the clinical trials to the time I had convinced my doctor to start Herceptin with my Taxol I had three weeks. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. This has become my primary source of information, inspiration and prayers for the other women.

Cheryl, try contacting Patricia Fintak, Study Research Nurse at University of Washington: (206) 543-6620. I think this article is in reference to the UW/Seattle CTL vaccine, as among the authors listed are Dr's Webster and Salazar. Good luck!

I missed Eric's post on collaboration. Anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
