I am doing the her2 vaccine (DNA plasmid) at Univ Wash in Seattle. They have hotel that will give you a medical rate (about $70 a night I believe) and a free breakfast and shuttle to the medical center. Because the trial is sponsored by the government, they can't offer to pay for any travel or lodging expenses. There are organizations that can help with flights (angelflight, etc.), but sounds like you can have Quantas fly you. The trial is 7 visits to Seattle over a 15 month period.

The research coordinator is Patricia Fintak 206-543-6620 paf3@u.washington.edu

They are terrific!
