I’ve been asked to consider being part of a clinical trial for a triple negative breast cancer vaccine, after I finish radiation, and would be concurrent with my Trodelvy chemo treatment.
Have any of you participated in a clinical trail for a breast cancer vaccine?
It’s exciting such a thing is in the works, but I’m not sure I can risk being a part of it. Just being honest.

I also have been asked to be part of the clinical study but haven’t started yet . I’m having surgery #3 on Friday if I’m cleared we’ll go from there.

Play safe - until they have more data to rely on!

Excellent point, I could end up in the placebo group. So many unknowns. My gut is telling me to get the known treatments rather than risk the unknown. Yet I am so excited at the thought of vaccines and their potential.

I understand the selection of participants is very strict as the doctors have to follow all the criteria required by the sponsors . I was a candidate for one trial, but denied due to one selection criteria. Also you are in a blind selection. Best of luck 🤞🏼

I agree! I’m not sure I qualify after doing some of my own research. I spoke with a friend who knows of a woman who was in a client trial for bc and it worked out very well for her.
