any Tykerb trials for stage 1-3 after Herceptin?

yellowfarmhouse

Just wondering if anyone knows of any trials like this? I was stage 3A , triple positive, and had Herceptin. I keep looking for trials of Tykerb.
thanks,
Wendy

Hi Wendy,
Right now, the existing trials are for mets, and a new one is for first line Tykerb ( instead of Herceptin ). I am sure that other studies will pop up for us stage IIIers as they HAVE to do comparables.
( I worked on both studies )

There are trials for stages 1-4 using Lapatinib aka Tykerb.
Follow this link to look for trials under Lapatinib.

I talked to my onc about it, and he said it's only approved for Stage IV at this time.
