    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,
