not sure about the details, will post more if I find out more.

Galena is conducting the trial -- it says its for patients with low-intermediate Her2 expression. It has a clinical trails number NCT01479244.

It's one already on Judy's list but I'm not sure it is for Her2+ disease.

Hello All,

I just wanted to keep this thread alive because after talking with my oncologist about my upcoming adjuvant chemo treatment, she mentioned that after I'm done with all my treatments, I should keep my eye out on the clinical trials (.gov) website for vaccine therapy in the future. I think if an oncologist is thinking this is a potential avenue for additional treatment, it is worth keeping in mind.

Christina,

Thank you for starting this forum topic.

Wish I had something new to add about breast cancer vaccines.....but I don't.

In case it would be helpful, putting the resource links in a list format:

Here's the link to the forum topic Donna started on: Clinical trials for vaccines.

Donna, I put a "cancer vaccine" alert on my google news page because I found so many encouraging things this weekend!  Smile

It looks like we might see more research on vaccines.  Here's one for Her2+ bc:

4-week vaccination regimen knocks out early breast cancer tumors, Penn researchers report

Researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania report that a short course of vaccination with an anti-HER2 dendritic cell vaccine made partly from the patient’s own cells triggers a complete tumor eradication in nearly 20 percent of women with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), an early breast cancer. More than 85 percent of patients appear to have a sustained immune response after vaccination, which may reduce their risk of developing a more invasive cancer in the future. The results of the study were published online this month of Cancer and in the January issue of the Journal of Immunotherapy.

The researchers say the results provide new evidence that therapeutic breast cancer vaccines may be most effective for early, localized disease, and when the treatment goes after a protein critical to cancer cell survival.

Donna,
They have another one on their site for breast cancer.  Here is a link to the one that DOD has apparently been working on- but I believe it requires Her2+1 testing.  I found several others, though, that seem to have promising broad application- some that target a protein that is common to many different types of cancer (the JX-594 is one but right now they are focusing on colorectal patients in trials)
 
I've been very encouraged by what I've been looking at today. I'm laid up from chemo so might as well do some research Wink.

Thanks for posting.  It looks like most of the trials for JX-594 are in colorectal cancers.  Maybe we'll see some more trials opening up on other types of cancers.

Hi, Please let me know if I am posting this in the wrong spot but I was reading some articles this morning about cancer in general and found several very promising vaccines mentioned.
Here is a link to information about a viral vaccine, jx594 that looks interesting.  Apparently, when cancer cells throw off part of their regular cellular composition in order to promote fast growth, they also throw away what protects them against viruses.  This vaccine targets that weakness in the cancer cells to induce death in the cancer cell. 
 
 
I will also go back and see if I can post the original article because there are several such vaccines in progress.  This is just one that has some Phase I and Phase II trials open right now. I wanted to see what others in this group think about vaccines such as this one and the one being developed at Roswell Park in NY that currently is recruiting for a Phase I trial.
