Started Omnitarg(placebo)Taxotere, Herceptin trial
Yesterday was my official start in the trial they are calling "Cleopatra". It is a phase III trial, recruiting 800 patients. It must be your first treatment for metastatic breast cancer.
I either received Taxotere, Herceptin and Omnitarg or Taxotere, Herceptin and a Placebo. Treatments are every 3 weeks. They evaluate you after 3 cycles. If I am receiving Omnitarg, I will be receiving 2 out of the 3 drugs of what I like to call the "triple threat" combo that Dr. Osborn was talking about.
I will see what the scans say and then decided if I want to try to get into the DM1 trial. I told my onc about how well you girls were doing and she is very excited. She will be eligible to participate in May or June.
