Breast Cancer Vaccine a Reality for Women With HER-2 Negative Cancers

Doesn't sound like Stage IV ladies can participate at this time.

It appears to be open only to patients currently receiving treatment - finishing chemo/rads within a specified time limit.  Closed to the rest of us....

I just finished this trial (finished the initial injections - still will be doing the boosters), and my understanding is that they may be widening the AE37 arm of the trial to include those who express Her2+ at 1 and 2, who would be classified as Her2-, because there is potential recurrence prevention benefit even though the trial was originally designed for Her2+++.  This trial also has an enrollment window of 6 months from last treatment, and a NED requirement.

Her negative may be a misnomer here, as they are not accepting TRUE Her negative. They are accepting only Her 1 and 2.
