Eric,

I saw Joe's mention of a new drug called neratinib on this thread, and I found an article about it online. Wyeth is a drug company here in PA. It looked promising in it's trials so far. It seems that it acts on intracellular end of the receptors of the HER2 cell, whereas Herceptin acts on the extracellular end. I don't know if Caryn would qualify for their upcoming Phase III trial. Here's the link:
