Spring-Vaccine Trial @John Hopkins

[lizm100]

For those who may be interested in a vaccine trial..I was skimming the "Ask and Expert" forum on the John Hopkins website and learned that there will be a vaccine trial this spring.

I don't know any particulars but for those who may be interested read below.

I copied the post dated 11/2/08 from the John Hopkins site:
Q:
I wasn''t sure which category to post this question so hopefully this is close enough. I have heard that JH is planning on doing a trial on the vaccine for those who are her2+++. I hope this is true, if so can you advise me where I can get more information on this trial?
A:
correct!! call 410-955-5000 and ask to be transferred to Dr. Leisha Emens office.


If anyone does pursue this and learns of the particulars please let us know.</B>

Hi Liz!

On a whim I called and of course they aren't open to answer that today but I actually did get a human on the line.

Here are some that are run by the same investigator. I don't know if this includes the one mentioned in your post or not, but the investigator at least is clearly very involved with vaccine research for HER2, and successful in getting trials to happen for HER2's:
