Clinical trial of Stanford's Experiemental Cancer vaccine

Postby boswind » Tue Mar 20, 2018 7:44 pm

FYI:
Stanford University started recruiting patients with non-Hodgkin Lymphomas for phase 1 clinical trial of their recently announced experimental cancer vaccine.
The clinical trial ID is NCT03410901. The trial description states:
Anticipated Study Start Date : March 1, 2018
Estimated Primary Completion Date : September 1, 2020
Estimated Study Completion Date : September 1, 2020
Furthermore, trial reports will be generated for 24, 48, 72 and 96 weeks.

If I understand correctly, we with other types of cancer may have to wait for quite a while to have a chance joining future rounds of its clinical trials even the cancer vaccine is proven to be effective for Lymphoma.

Good question. I think it might depend on the success of the clinical trial. I believe they were letting people with colon cancer get on board with Keytruda when it was still an ongoing trial. I could be wrong, butt If I remember correctly, some cc patients were being treated with it. It has since been approved by the FDA for colon cancer.

What what it is worth, I was getting FOLFOX when it was still a experimental drug. My Onc was able to get me on board, and I was her 1st and only patient getting it for a good 3 month.

The medical field has come a long ways since my diagnoses almost 14 yrs ago. When I was diagnosed, stage III, I was given anywhere between 30% up to 50% of being alive in 5 years. There has been a lot of advancements since then. I can see where some forms of cancer will be curable in the not to distant future.
