Guest Reynrona Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Have been on the Stimuvax trial for just over a year and my tumor is gradually getting smaller. I pray to god that everyone with NSCLC has access to this product and that it works for them. May they find a cure soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe B Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I would love to get into the Stimuvax study, unfortunately I am stage 4 and they are only recruiting/ considering stage 3 individuals at this time. I was wondering if I could get it off study through Compassinate use protocols? The GVAX studies showed immunotherapy (vaccines) have a real place in cancer treatment. of the 33 patients in the phase2 GVAX study 3 were completely cured ! (2 of those 3 had BAC components to their tumor) . Unfortunately they dicountinued the GVAX studies for lung cancer (they are still going on for pancreatic and prostate) because a few individuals died during the necessary surgery to get the tumor samples. I woiuld love a shot at GVAX. I am considering going into the HyperAcute Vaccine study at the NCI in Bethesda Maryland. I will go there next week for evaluation. Also the Cuban Govertment vaccine has been reported to have great results as well. If Anyone knows if I can get Stimuvax off study, I would appreciate the information.
