The pert/ tdm-1 / taxol trial is at Sloan in NY, Farber in Boston. everyone gets t dm-1, low dose , which helps avoid platelet issues. taxol gets dropped after 3mos if you respond. The pert is 50/50 randomized , but we see great results w/ just initial taxol , and low dose , weekly t dm-1. W/o pert. pert sounds good, but its not achemo. t dm-1 is already proven. its " the bomb", literally, for strong her2. The rumor mill says that pert's approval may be conditional, for early stage ? That would be CRAZY on This FDA's part. I've already written them . I think "Dr. " Pazdur and his t dm-1 " advisors " should be removed, they are completely un-able to make rational decisions about these 2 drugs.
On another note, someone form the UK , says T DM-1 should be approved soon, a few months ?, quicker than here. What else is new ? Now, that's a Good Rumor !
