Denise,
I am not sure if the study I am in is still recruiting. I did not go to Walter Reed. There were several locations nationwide with one being in Winston-Salem NC at Wake Forest Medical Center. However, I had a wonderful study nurse and I am certain she will talk with you. Her name is Robin Petro and her number is 336-713-4788. If I were you, I would give her a call and she should be able to share valuable information with you. (Tell her I gave you her name and number.)

Here is the trial info and it looks to me like they are still active. http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/N...cine%22&rank=1
I do know they have been approved for phase III and are tageting a wider population this time. I do not know the details of this.

I am keeping my fingers crossed for you!!!! Do not give up. Keep looking until you find one that fits your needs. That is the secret.

Sandra
