Julie , I don't have any links to this trial. I found out about it through the doctor I work for and our local news did a story on it. I called the number they gave out and am awaiting a call back. I do meet the critira for the trial though. Apparently they are looking for 100 participants. You must be her2 positive, high risk, and finished treatment 6 months ago. I will post more as I get more info. Apparently they will give you 6 injections of the vaccine over a 18 month period.
