Re: Intrathecal (IT) Herceptin (Trastuzumab) for brain mets (Leptomeningeal Metastase

Yes, Sloan is part of the Chicago trial, on same principles. You can view here.

Twice a week at 40mg is equivalent to 80mg a week, so it is not such a low dose. My wife is still doing 150mg IT herceptin and 50mg IT steroid a week through lumbar puncture, with no side effects at all.

Wish you luck Evlin.
