Herceptin - Study to determine benefits of continuing beyond one year

robind · 07-09-2009, 04:36 PM

Does anyone know about this current study to determine if there is a benefit to continue receiving Herceptin beyond the one year? My oncologist has referenced this study (several times). I've researched ASCO and the NCI as well as Herceptin site and have not been able to locate any information. Please help if you have any knowledge of this. Thanks so much. robind

Robind, how about one- and two year arms of the active, no longer recruiting HERA study?

I think this is one that I have identified but will definitely check it out again. Thanks so much for answering.

I did check this. There is a study currently going on that is to be completed around Oct/Nov. and that's the study I am trying to get some information about. I'm not sure if it is in Europe or the US.

Robind-

I am interested in knowing the outcome of your inquiry as to when this study will be complete-looks like the one referenced above is in Phase III.

I completed adjuvant chemo 6 weeks ago , and had
my 5th Herceptin infusion today-47 more weeks to go---

Thanks so much---

I am also interested in this study. I will complete my 2nd year of Herceptin during February 2010 and plan on stopping my Herceptin.
