first line treatment
Donna,
The TEACH trial is available to those who have had chemo but have not had Herceptin, so one could choose to be part of that trial using lapatinib (Tykerb). However, it is blinded and those in the trial are given either lapatinib or a placebo, and one can't choose which they would be given.
The TEACH trial is intended to help determine not only how well the drug works, but also whether it works for those who were treated some time ago with chemo but never treated with Herceptin.
