Anyone tried Neratinib?
I have been looking for clinical trial to start since I have finished my Herceptin. I looked up the vaccine trial but it is too far away from me and requires overnight stays. The contact person referred me to the clinical trial using neratinib. I think my onco suggested this but I can't remember if the name of the drug was the same.
She stated that it causes diarrhea. How bad
Has anyone tried this one? How bad was the side effects?
