My understanding is that you need to have never had Herceptin. Currently NED. The way it was explained to me was to see about using it as Herceptin is used post inital treatment. For example... you did ACT, rads and then start this along with hormonals etc. I do not have all the specifics yet. It is looking at using Tykerb backwards in the population that did not get Herceptin because it was not approved or tumor was not typed as Her2 to begin with.
I hope that makes sense. For the most part prior to 2001, we did not get Herceptin unless you were in a trial or not responding.
