Re: Seeking advice from Vaccine trial participants

Yes, the word has been put out that it is more effective on the lower expressors. I'm a bit skeptical, but am hoping to see the data showing this.

The posters and mid trial reports showed a positive difference between the control arm and the vaccine arm for the Her2+++. I suspect the vaccines are also effective for our group but a new, bigger market (lower expressors) has been discovered.

Ummm . . . hello . . . hand up over here! How about us high expressors?

Anyone seen the latest data?
