gao seng; Thanks for posting the article. I'm a multiple myeloma patient who is currently involved in a gene therapy trial using
IL-12.

500 ml of my bone marrow has been genetically engineered using an adenovirus, Il-12 and CD-80. This vaccine is being given back to me
sub-cutaneously over the next 2 months, at 2 week intervals. Early indications are looking good with a measurable immune response.

This is a phase 1 clinical trial being conducted at the University of Toronto / Princess Margaret Hospital. Many trials to-date have involved patients with advanced disease. In my case, I have early stage disease and have not had any form of chemotherapy.

Cheers,

Mike
