I was in the trial for this drug. It worked very well for me for about 8 months and then I started to get new mets. The original mets did shrink substantially though. Diarrhea was a side effect. I found that by eliminating foods that seemed to increase this side effect I could remain mostly diarrhea free. It did take some finaggling though. I am sure that combined with herceptin or some other drug it could be quite effective.
