Mayo Clinic researcher Keith Knutson and his team have received investigational new drug approval from the Food and Drug Administration for two new vaccines that mobilize the body’s defense mechanisms to destroy cancer cells. The vaccines are among the first aimed at preventing cancer recurrence. The approval clears the way for Phase I clinical trials later this year with women treated for ovarian or breast cancer.

I heard Dr. Kuntson on npr radio a few weeks ago. I am interested in looking into being in the research he is doing. I had breast cancer two years ago. I had my operation at Mayo clinic so all of my medical records are available. I have an appointment on Wed. Sept.7 with Dr. Shield.

The info. about the phase 1 vaccine clinical trial made the OCNA chat board today and I am so interested. I was dx 7/10 w/ovca stage lllC. I am in the GOG-252 and will end it 12/21/11 with very few side effects. I will talk to my gyn/onc Dr. Peter Johnson (WI) and would appreciate more info. on the trial.
