    I am involved in a vaccine trial; the following excerpt is from a web article by a patient who is
    enrolled in a SU 11248. You can read the entire article at:
    http://www.healthtalk.com/coloncancer/programs/060904/page02.cfm

    "I'm on a clinical trial on a medication called SU11248, which is oral. [I take] one pill a day for 28 days and then two weeks off. Within two weeks, my cough disappeared and my CEA levels started to drop significantly. [My] energy is coming back, and things are getting back to normal - things are looking good. [Medical editor's note: SU11248 is an experimental drug in clinical trials for various cancers. It is designed to interfere with certain proteins called tyrosine kinases. Signals from these tyrosine kinases promote the development and sustain the growth of some cancers."
