New York Vaccine Trial: Still looking for volunteers.
Hi Belinda,
I called the number Eileen gave at Sloan and spoke to Deidre, one of the nurses. She couldn't give me much information about the trial but did say they would send out a package of material explaining the Phase I trial if I were eligible. I'm not, as one must be at least Stage II. It's something like three shots every three weeks and some blood taking to check on the T-cells. That might be doable for you, as we have two international airports close by: Kennedy and Newark. Also, you cannot be on herceptin concurrent with the vaccine. I am due to go off herceptin in September, and I asked if they were likely to be gathering subjects then and she said 'probably.' I believe they need an additional twenty to twenty-five volunteers.
The nurse's name is Deidre and her number is 212-639-5451
