Yesterday reported on preliminary findings from the investigational vaccine approach published in . Even though in its early stages, we’re encouraged by the findings. Even though the idea for this trail was launched in Germany, researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York extracted patients tumors and shipped them to Germany to produce personalized vaccine.

Our hope that this highly impacted and limited access group were part of this study. As a matter of fact we will ask that question.
