        Both of those do sound very interesting with a lot of potential promise, Brian!  On the trial using genetically modified T cells, vaccine therapy and nivo in treating patients with tumors expressing NY-ESO-1….this bit of info may help explain why!!!

        In my trial in which Nivo was given with peptide vaccines, this was revealed in the analysis of results:

        "Biomarker studies showed that elevated NY-ESO 1 and MART 1 specific CD8 T cells pre-treatment were associated with non-response, while CTLA-4 positive CD4T cells and T regulatory cells were elevated after treatment with nonresponders."  Here's a link here to read it for yourself:  http://chaoticallypreciselifeloveandmelanoma.blogspot.com/2013/05/phase-iii-trial-of-pd1-antibody.html

        So getting those modified t cells in there may make a world of difference to folks with NY-ESO 1 expressing tumors!!  Way to go reseachers and ratties.  Have to see if the trial becomes active and what happens…but this is how I know work continues to go forward and I have great hope for the future!!  Thanks for sharing, Brian!!!
