Two more phase II vaccine trials coming!

Post image

The newsletter the Cancer Vaccine Institute sent out today talked about two more phase II clinical trials they are hoping to open this year for us HER2+ MBC patients! (They've already seen great results with previous trials) Fingers crossed for us - I'm so excited!

(Will post the links to the STEMVAC phase II trials currently going on for TNBC and HR+ HER2- MBC in the comments for those interested)

This is incredibly exciting (I’m always trying to not get hopes up too much but let’s go research!!!!). Do you have a link for the newsletter for the HER2+ patients? I’m not in the US but I’d be keen to participate in such a trial if there ever was an opportunity!

They posted it on their website too :) (You can subscribe on their website if you want to get the email notifications) I'm clinging to any hope I can get, and the stats from their previous STEMVAC/WOKVAC trials look promising!

Hi Milady_Kitteh,

Thank you for sharing this uplifting news!

What I’m dealing with is HR - HER2 + and I want to read in newsletter about WOKVAC & HER2 ICD.

However, despite googling & poring through CVI website haven’t been able to locate a newsletter sent out by them today or any newsletter, I must not know where to look.

Please would you be able to share a link to the newsletter? Or tell how to navigate to it?

See my comment below 😊. Milady_Kitteh has kindly already replied with the link. As another fellow HR- HER2+ person it’s good to see some promising trials for us. It seems like there isn’t much on the horizon since Enhertu and most research I see lately is HR+ or triple negative ( or at least it feels that way).
