"Help Me"

Penny, one of the Emilia trial inclusion criteria, a trial which became the basis for T-DM1 approval, required that patients had received:

"Prior treatment for breast cancer in the adjuvant, unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic setting must include both a taxane, alone or in combination with another agent, and trastuzumab, alone or in combination with another agent."

So these participants no longer- or ever did respond to trastuzumab.

T-DM1 however for many of the Emilia trial participants showed strong and lasting signals of efficacy, with reduced toxicity. I so hope this drug will also proof to be beneficial for you.
