Janelle, I believe this is the same Phase II trial I wil be starting next week at Wake Forrest here in North Carolina. From the info I was given, no one here suffered any cardiac problems or had to drop out in the Phase I trial conducted at Wake. My understanding is that there will be no placebo arm in the trial I am participating in. I am meeting them at Wake on Tuesday for one more blood test and sign a consent form. I will start the vaccine the following week. I was told they have 9 testing site across the country for this trial. You must be no more than 6 months out of treatment. I almost did not get in as I am at that six month point. I will let you all know more as I move along in the trial.
