I've just completed my year of Herceptin and am looking for a trial in which to participate. There are three that look very promising and hope to be accepted into one of them. (UW, MDAnderson, Mayo).
In spite of all the research and questioning and reading, I still have questions. Are all vaccines equal, or does each research facility develop its own? Each seems to pair the vaccine with a different booster, but is the basic vaccine the same?
Is there any documentation of which booster paired with which vaccine seems the most promising?
The vaccine teams all seem very personable and helpful and answer my questions thoroughly, but I don't know of anyone that can help me compare each trial against the other. (This is my traveling vacation money I'll be spending, so I'd like to make the best possible decision.
)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
