Question from KGrimm: Anything new on the vaccine for HER2 breast cancer?
Answer —Generosa Grana, M.D., F.A.C.P.: The data that has been presented with the vaccine for HER2/neu positive disease was presented at San Antonio and was a small trial. I am not aware of any additional data in that regard. The early data from that small trial was promising, so we need to stay tuned.
