Just thought I would let all of you know that Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, NY just opened a clinical trial for those with stage IIB, III, and IV disease (both active disease, and resected for stage IV) with tumors that express the NY-ESO-1 protein.
It appears that prior adjuvant interferon is listed under exclusions, to which extent I'm not sure. It does not seem to reuire the HLA blood typing either. Dave has an appointment with the oncologist tomorrow, so I plan to ask more questions.

I'm not sure if the following link will work or not – but the trial is listed at http://www.clinicaltrials.gov.

For those of you with stage II and III disease, it's nice to know that hopefully more options are coming down the pipe 🙂
Best wishes to all,
Maria

Maria,
Watching the news tonight and saw this on Ch 2. Thought I'd try to link the tv news here. Hope it works.
Very exciting news out of Roswell, and I hope and pray that Dave's appointment tomorrow offers some optimistic offering for him. Just very exciting that this approach is not exclusive to a particular cancer and is quite inclusive! So happy to see your post and to see that you are right there orchestrating and directing Dave's care. Good work, Maria.
Now let's see if I am computer literate….if this doesn't work, I'm hopeful that Tim and the MRF will ahve the info posted somewhere. Here it goes
Well, let's see if that does the trick.
