While it is true that you used to be excluded from the E75 Walter Reed/Windber trial if you ever had Herceptin, it was no longer ethical for that exclusion to remain once the beneficial findings of Herceptin used in the adjuvant setting were announced a few years ago at ASCO. Now, as I understand it, an early stage person must have completed all standard treatment, including Herceptin, prior to entry into the trial. But again, please contact Windber for the specific criteria if you are interested. I just don't want people who have had Herceptin to think that they are now disqualified from this trial on that basis alone because they are not.
