Re: Neratinib Clinical Trial

My understanding of the trial is 50% get the drug 50% get placebo. The drug has a high rate of diarrhea but can be controlled. You have to be within 2 years of your last chemo to qualify so there is some time for those of us who may not be sure if this is the right trial, especially since 50% get placebo. I'm currently on a bisphosphonate trial which addresses the ER+ aspect of this disease but I do want to be sure the Herceptin took care of the Her2+ part as well. Of course, I can only participate in one trial at a time (and don't want to risk being in the placebo group) but I'm curious if other similar trials targeting Her2 will open soon. Anyone have info. on the vaccine trials for early stage? My onc is not too optimistic about the vaccine approach working, I'll ask more on why next time but if others have discussed other trials for early stage disease with their oncs, I am interested in hearing more. Thanks.
