Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Has the FDA sanctioned Nelipepimut-S Plus GM-CSF Vaccine for therapeutic use?

"Given the Phase 2 status of Nelipepimut-S Plus GM-CSF Vaccine, there is some evidence that it is safe but not yet any proof of efficacy. As such, our team at Power has given this vaccine a safety rating of 2."

Answered by AI

Can you elucidate the number of Canadian locations in which this clinical trial is being conducted?

"At present, 4 clinical sites are running this trial. These locations are in New york, Philadelphia and Boston as well as several other cities. To minimize the burden of enrolment on patients, it is ideal to choose a site near you for participation."

Answered by AI

Is the Nelipepimut-S Plus GM-CSF Vaccine being tested in additional clinical trials?

"Nelipepimut-S Plus GM-CSF Vaccine was first trialed in 2001 at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center/University of Washington Cancer Consortium. A total of 719 trials have been finished and 43 are still ongoing, primarily situated around New york City."

Answered by AI

What is the capacity of participants accepted into this research project?

"This trial is not open for recruitment at this time. It was first listed on June 14th, 2016 and the information has recently been updated on June 30th 2021. If you are looking to join other clinical studies there are 133 active trials available involving carcinoma mammary ductal and 43 utilizing Nelipepimut-S Plus GM-CSF Vaccine that require participants."

Answered by AI

Is it possible to enter this experiment at the present time?

"Evidently, the clinical trial listed on clinicaltrials.gov is not looking for new participants at this time; it was initially posted on June 14th 2016 and last updated in June 2021. Nevertheless, there are 176 other ongoing medical studies that welcome volunteers."

Answered by AI
